You can manually configure the Switch IP information in the following 
way:

■

Connecting to the console port — connect a workstation using a 
console cable to the console port of the Switch. You can then 
manually enter IP information using the command line interface (CLI).

To set up your Switch manually you can alternatively make a connection 
to the console port (this example describes a local connection to the 
console port, rather than a remote one via a modem). You can do this 
whilst the Switch is offline, that is, before you connect the Switch to a 
network, or whilst the Switch is online, that is, connected to a network.

■

A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as 
Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate 
with the Switch via the console port directly, or through a modem.

■

Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.

■

A suitable cable:

■

An RJ-45 to DB9 converter cable.

■

A standard null modem cable — if you are connecting directly to 
the console port, or

■

A standard modem cable — if you are connecting to the console 
port using a modem.

You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables in Appendix B on page 69.

■

You need to have the following so that you can manually set up the 
Switch with IP information:

■

IP address

■

subnet mask

■

default gateway
