Methods of Managing the Switch
Hitachi’s HiSpeed switch can be  managed using the following:
Serial connection on the console port
Telnet session over a TCP/IP network
SNMP using HiView’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) 
CLI (Command Line Interface)
Hitachi employes a command line interface (CLI) application for configuring the 
HiSpeed switch. The CLI can be accessed from:
Console Port 
Telnet session
Using the Console Port
Connect a terminal to the HiSpeed switch using a null-modem RS-232 serial 
cable.  A DOS/Windows or Unix workstation running in terminal emulation mode 
can also be used.  The console port on the switch is configured as DCE, which 
requires the use of a null-modem cable.  Because the connection is a male DB9 
interface, your cable should be a female DB9 connector on the other end.
