3. Terminal Setup

To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch. The console port of the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch is DCE already, so that you can connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.

A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch. Windows’ Hyper Terminal program may be a good choice. The Hyper Terminal can be accessed from the Start menu.

1.Click START, then Programs, Accessories and then Hyper Terminal.

2.When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:

Baud rate: 115200

Parity: None

Data bits: 8
