Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal 
emulation program to the switch. You can use the console cable provided 
with this package, or use a null-modem cable that complies with the wiring 
assignments shown in the Installation Guide.

To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps: 

1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC 

running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining 
screws on the DB-9 connector.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the 

switch.

3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:

•

Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2). 

•

Set the baud rate to 9600 bps.

•

Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. 

•

Set flow control to none. 

•

Set the emulation mode to VT100. 

•

When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows 
keys.

make sure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later 
installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of 
arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100 
emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on 
Windows 2000 service packs.
