Console Port
Your NETGEAR Model GSM7328S ProSafe 24+4 Gigabit Ethernet L3 Managed Stackable Switch has a
console port on the front panel. This port is labeled Console and is required for initial management
configuration of the switch. It also lets you manage the switch using a directly connected VT-100
terminal, personal computer (PC), Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation. The terminal, computer, or
workstation connects to the console port using the null-modem cable supplied with your switch.
The console port is configured to use the following settings:
• Baud rate: 9,600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bit: 1
• Flow control: none
These settings appear below the connector on the switch rear panel.
In addition to using the console port, you can manage the switch using a Web browser or a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) management program.
For more information about console-port connections, see “Connecting to the Console Port” in Chapter 3
Installation. For more information about managing the switch, see the User Manual located on the CD-
ROM.
