2.2 Connections
The switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and
configuring the switch. The switch comes with a null-modem console cable.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the switch. You can
use the console cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem cable that complies with the wiring
assignments shown in the Installation Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software,
and tighten the captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the switch.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
• Set to 9600 baud rate if you want to view all the system initialization messages.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none.
• Set the emulation mode to VT100.
