In this chapter we explain how to install a Moxa switch for the first time. There are three ways to access the
Moxa switch’s configuration settings: serial console, Telnet console, or web console. If you do not know the
Moxa switch’s IP address, you can open the serial console by connecting the Moxa switch to a PC’s COM port
with a short serial cable. You can open the Telnet or web console over an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet.
