3.Connect the other end of the Serial cable to an RS-232 Serial port on the workstation. If no RS-232 Serial port is available on the workstation, the adapter on the end of the Serial cable can be removed to use the RJ-45 connector to create a Serial connection.

5.Power on the workstation and establish a connection to the switch using a terminal emulator application (such as Hyperterminal).

Note: Step 6 shows instructions specific to HyperTerminal. If using a different application, consult the specific application’s documentation.

6.Using Hyperterminal configure the port settings as follows:

■Bits per second: 9600

■Databits: 8
