Setting terminal parameters
To configure and manage the blade switch, you must run a terminal emulator program on the console
terminal, for example, a PC. This section uses Windows XP HyperTerminal as an example.
The following are the required terminal settings:
• Bits per second—9,600
• Data bits—8
• Parity—None
• Stop bits—1
• Flow control—None
• Emulation—VT100
To set terminal parameters, for example, on a Windows XP HyperTerminal:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.
The Connection Description dialog box appears.
2. Enter the name of the new connection in the Name field and click OK.
