Starting the Terminal Emulation Software
Starting the Terminal Emulation Software
Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output
display from the power-on self-test (POST).
The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or
ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.
Step 2 Start a terminal-emulation session.
Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• None (flow control)
Connecting to a Power Source
Follow these steps to connect to a power source:
Step 1 Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on a switch rear panel. See
Figure D-4.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 3 (Optional) If you have a stack, power on all the switches in the stack.
Note If you have stacked your switches, see the “Powering Considerations” section on page 2-8 for
more information.
Note If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that
shipped with your RPS.
As the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that runs automatically
to ensure that the switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute.
When the switch begins POST, the System, the RPS, the Master, the Status, the Duplex, the Speed, and
the Stack LEDs turn green. (On the Power over Ethernet [PoE] switches, the PoE LED also turns green
as POST begins.) The System LED flashes green, and the other LEDs remain continuous green.
