Step 7: Connecting to the Console Port to Manage the Switch (initial configuration)
Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch contains software for viewing,
changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to
work. You can use the 10/100 Mbps ports, and the built-in RJ-45 Gigabit ports without using the
management software. However, the management software can let you improve the efficiency of the
switch and, as a result, improve its overall performance as well as the performance of your network. This
step describes how to access the management software.
You can access the management features using the console interface, and if you know the IP address of
the switch, you can also use a web browser, telnet program, or SNMP management application to access
the switch remotely. To learn the IP address, you must first access the management via the console
interface.
After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can connect to it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC,
Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation that is directly connected to the switch’s console port.

To connect a console to the switch:
1. Connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation to the switch’s
console port, labeled Console, using the null-modem cable supplied with the switch. The supplied null-
modem cable has 9-pin connectors on each end.

2. If you attached a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program.
Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the Windows operating
systems.

Macintosh users can use ZTerm.
UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.
3. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: none
