This section describes using the Command Line Interface
(CLI) to manage the device. The device is managed
through the CLI from a direct connection to the device
console port.

Using the CLI is very similar to entering commands on a
UNIX system.
Console Port
To start using the CLI via a console port:
1 Connect the RJ-45 cable to the Console port of the
switch to the serial port of the terminal or computer
running the terminal emulation application.
2 Set the baud rate to 38400.
3 Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity.
4 Set Flow Control to none.
5 Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
6 Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl
keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not
Windows keys).
