down by implementing the new changes, one step at a time.

Ensure that cable distances and other physical aspects of the

installation comply with recommendations. (See “Making

Network Connections” in Chapter 3.)

Management Interface

Terminal Emulation

If the terminal attached to the console port is not operating

properly, check that:

1. the attached ter minal or terminal emulator is set to VT100

2. you are using the correct cable type (See Chapter 4,

“Configuration and Management”) and that it is properly

connected.

3. the console is configured properly (8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no

parity and 9600 or 19200 bps).

4. if you are using ter minal emulation, there are no IRQ

conflicts.(i.e., Make sure device drivers are not using the

same IRQ required to run the COM port).

Telnet

If you have trouble establishing a link to the System

Configuration Program using Telnet:

1. Check to make sure the network connection is valid.

2. Verify that the correct IP address for the switch has been

entered at the Telnet location.

3. Make sure the port on the switch through which you are

trying to establish a Telnet connection is enabled. (See

Chapter 4, “Configuration and Management”)

4. Check the cabling between the Telnet site and the switch.
