Configuring the Management Console Connection
To configure a console to manage the switch through the console port
connection:
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal, or
use a VT-100 terminal.
2. Configure the terminal with the following settings:
• A baud rate from 1200 to 115200 (the switch senses the speed)
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• For the Windows Terminal program, disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and C
trl Keys for Windows” option.
• For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, Arrow, and C
trl Keys act as” parameter.
If you use a management console with different configuration settings, be sure
to reconfigure the settings on both the terminal and the switch in the following
order so that both configurations are compatible:
1. Reconfigure the switch and save the new settings.
2. Reconfigure the terminal and save the new settings.
3. Reboot the switch and re-establish the console session.
