The text-based UI of the switch is available

 

directly through the serial port in the 

front of the switch. After the Ethernet settings are entered, the text-based UI can be 
accessed remotely through the switch’s Ethernet interface using telnet.

 

With the 

following exceptions, all functions of the menu interface are available either directly 
or through telnet. 

•  The telnet interface is available only after the MSA Switch is completely booted. 

This means the results of the initialization tests are not viewable and if a reset is 
issued, the telnet connection is terminated. 

•  Users are unable to change the password over the telnet interface. 

Another difference between using the serial port interface and telnet is that when 
using telnet, you can only get access to the switch after it has started

 

up and has 

initialized its network parameters. Consequently, you

 

must have a directly-connected 

terminal to initially configure network

 

parameters and to view the power-up 

information of the MSA Switch

.

 

 

NOTE:  This process uses a computer running on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or later. 
However, the switch can communicate with any operating system that utilizes a terminal 
emulator. If your computer uses another operating system, be sure that the baud rate, data 
bits, stop bits, parity, and terminal emulation are set for the selected serial port as specified in 
this procedure. 

To directly connect a terminal to the MSA Switch: 

1.  Make sure there is power to the switch and attach a terminal or terminal 

emulator. 

2.  Connect a server serial port to the switch’s DB-9 serial port. 

3.  Power on the server (if it is not already on). 

4.  Access the terminal emulator on the server. In Windows NT 4.0, select
