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 2 Start a terminal-emulation session.
