1.1.1 Using the RS232 Port to Access the User Interface

Attach a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the RS232 port. The terminal should be configured for 8 bits, no parity operation at 57.6 Kbps. Hardware and software flow control must be disabled. Select a terminal type of VT100.

Once the terminal is connected, pressing any key on the keyboard will prompt for the username and password to be entered.

The switch is shipped with a default administrator username “admin” and password “admin”. Once successfully logged in, the user will be presented with the main menu.
