to the switch, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal to one of the console
ports on the switch.

that you are using on the switch, use one of the following cables, both of
which are included in the product package:

USB console driver on the computer. You can download the driver by
visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
• Console cable for use with the RJ-45 RS232 console port.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate port on the switch and
connect the other end to your computer or terminal.

emulation program:
• On a computer with a Windows operating system, you can use
HyperTerminal or Tera Term.
• On a computer with a Mac operating system, you can use ZTerm.
• On a computer with a Linux operating system, you can use Minicom.
4. Congure the terminal emulation program to use the following settings:
baud rate, 115,200 bps; data bits, 8; parity, none; stop bit, 1; ow control,
none.

press Enter. At the password prompt, do not type a password but press
