Setting up through the console port
1.
Use the supplied crossover RS-232 cable to connect to the console
port on the back of the switch. This port is a male DB-9 connector,
implemented as data terminal equipment (DTE) connection. Tighten
the retaining screws on the cable to secure it on the connector.
Connect the other end of the cable to a PC running terminal emulation
software. e.g. Hyper Terminal.
2.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect to a PC. You have to install the
USB driver from the switch CD-ROM before the USB can work properly.
The USB drivers will simulate an additional COM port under Windows
ME/2K/XP OS.
