To set up your Switch manually you can make a connection to the console 
port, (this example describes a local connection to the console port, 
rather than one using 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 using the console port directly.

■

Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.

■

The console cable (RJ-45) supplied with your Switch.

You can find pin-out diagrams for the cable in Appendix  on page 89.

■

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

■

IP address

■

subnet mask

■

default gateway

■

management VLAN ID, normally set to the default value (1)

1 Connect the workstation to the console port using the console cable as 

shown in Figure 12.

To connect the cable:

a Attach the RJ-45 connector on the cable to the console port of the 

Switch.

b Attach the other end of the cable to the workstation and tighten the 

retaining screws on the cable to prevent it from being loosened.
