Configuring the Switch through the Console Interface
The Console Interface consist of a series of menus.. Each menu has several options, which are listed vertically.. A highlight in each menu lets you select the option you wish to choose; pressing the Enter key activates the highlighted option..
To navigate through the Console Interface, use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys or use the Number keys to select the respective option (for example, press the 5 key to highlight Help).. The Enter key selects an option and the Esc key returns to the previous selection; menu options and any values entered or present are highlighted.. Note that the bottom of the window provides help, indicating the appropriate keys to use..
Login
When you finish configuring the HyperTerminal, the Login screen appears.. The first time you open the Console Interface, use the default username admin and leave the password blank and press the Enter key.. You can set a password later from the User and Password Settings screen..
