C H A P T E R 2 Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub

Accessing the Console

Manager

The Console Manager software is contained in the switch’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM); you don’t need to install any software. To access the Console Manager:

1Use the null-modem cable (included with the switch) to connect a workstation’s COM port to the Console Mgmt port on the switch.

Console Mgmt

PC-3442

2Open a terminal emulation program (such as Windows Terminal).

3Select the COM port and these communication parameters:

9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

In Windows Terminal, choose Communications from the Setting menu.

4Press E. The login prompt appears:

Login:

password:

By default, no login name or password is assigned. The password you enter becomes active only after you reset the switch or turn off the power. If you want the password to take effect immediately, use the set-passwdcommand.

Accessing the Console Manager remotely

To access remotely through Telnet, you must first set the IP configuration of the switch using the set-ip-confcommand (see page 32 for instructions). You can then use Telnet to reach the switch.

In a remote session, all commands work exactly as if a terminal were directly connected to the Console Mgmt port. Note that only one console session can be active at a time. After the first Telnet session is established, the switch refuses other Telnet connections until the current session is closed. To terminate an active Telnet session, press

Ethree times from the serial interface.
