To connect the cable:

a Attach the cable’s RJ-45 connector to the Console port of the switch.

settings to which you have connected the cable. The settings must be set 
to match the default settings for the switch, which are: 

■

38,400 baud (bits per second)

■

8 data bits

■

no parity

■

1 stop bit

■

no hardware flow control

Refer to the documentation that accompanies the terminal emulation 
software for more information.

minute to boot.

You are now ready to manually set up the switch with IP information 
using the command line interface.
