CONNECTIONS
The switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a
PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch. A null-modem
console cable is provided with the switch.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation
program to the switch. You can use the console cable provided with this
package, or use a null-modem cable that complies with the wiring
assignments shown in the Installation Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC
running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining
screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
switch.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
â–
Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
â–
Set the baud rate to 115200 bps.
â–
Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
â–
Set flow control to none.
