Chapter 2 Getting Started
This chapter explains how to access your MOXA EtherDevice Switch for the first time. There are
three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial
console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a
PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the switch’s IP address. The Telnet console and
web browser connection methods can be used to access MOXA EtherDevice Switches over an
Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The following topics are covered:
RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)
Configuration Using a Telnet Console
Configuration Using a Web Browser
Disabling Telnet and Browser Access
