Terminal Setup

To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the device. The console port of the device is DCE already, so that you can connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.

A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the device. Windows' Hyper Terminal program may be a good choice. It can be accessed from the Start menu. Click START, then Programs, Accessories and then Hyper Terminal.

MS-DOS based terminal program such as PC-PLUS, PROCOMM, can also make the connection with the device built-in software. The COM port should be configured as:

Baud : 9600
Parity : None
Data bits : 8
Stop bits : 1
Flow Control: none

 

Logon to the console

Once the terminal has connected to the device, power on the device. The terminal will display that it is running testing procedures.

Then, the following picture asks the login Password.

 

The default user name will be "switch". (all lower case)

For security reason, please change and memorize the new password and/or username after this first setup.
