34 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT
To connect the cable:
a Switch 3812 and Switch 3824: Insert one end of the null modem
cable into the console port of the Switch.
Switch 3848: Insert the RJ-45 end of the RJ-45 to DB9 converter cable
into the console port of the Switch.
b Switch 3848 only: Connect the null modem cable to the DB9 end of
the converter cable.
c All Switches: Connect the other end of the null modem cable to one
of the serial ports (also known as a COM port) on your workstation.
2 Open your terminal emulation software and configure the COM port
settings to which you have connected the cable. The settings should be
set to match the default settings for the Switch, which are:
■ 19,200 baud
■ 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.
Setting Up the Switch with IP Information
You are now ready to manually set up the Switch with IP information
using the command line interface.
1 The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch
detects a connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times
until it starts.
2 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and
press Return at the password prompt. If you have logged on correctly, the
top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in
the example in Figure 10
