Console Port
Your NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet 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 front 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 to Manage the
Switch. For more information about managing the switch, see the User Guide located on the CD-ROM.
