2.2.7 Equipment Rack Guidelines
• Size: 17.25 x 10.0 x 1.7 inches
423 x 245 x 43 mm
• Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room where the temperature remains below 40° C
(104° F). Be sure that there are no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, blocking
airflow to or from the IntraCore 65120 vents.
• Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that there is adequate
clearance for servicing the IntraCore 65120 from the front.
2.3 Setup
The following sections describe the various methods for setting up and managing the switch.
2.3.1 Connecting to a Console or Workstation
When attaching a workstation to the device, a standard straight-through CAT5 cable may be used, even
when the workstation is attached via a patch panel. However, when attaching to another switch or attaching
workstations via hubs, a crossover cable will need to be used. It is recommended that the switch be kept off
the network until proper IP settings have been set.
To connect the switch to a console or computer, setup the system in the following manner:
1. Plug power cord into the back of unit.
2. Attach a straight through serial cable between the RS232 port and a COM port on the PC.
3. Setup a Hyperterminal (or equivalent terminal program) in the following manner:
• Choose the appropriate COM port (COM1, COM2, etc)
• Set the data rate to 9600 Baud
• Set data format 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity
• Set flow control to NONE
• In setting under Properties, choose VT100 for Emulation mode
• Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys. Be sure the setting is for Terminal
keys, NOT Windows keys
Now that terminal is setup correctly, power on the switch (boot sequence will display in terminal).
2.3.2 Connecting Via the Web Browser Interface
To connect to the switch via your web browser, you must first have configured your computer’s IP address to
be on the same IP address subnet as the switch (192.168.0.x). For more information on how to configure
your TCP/IP settings, please refer to your computer manufacturer’s user’s manual.
You may now launch your web browser and enter the switch’s default IP address into the address field. The
Introduction page will appear, and you may proceed through the pages to configure each variable. Password
Protection is disabled by default. If this feature is enabled (via console or telnet) without having set your own
password, the default password is Asante. Asante is case sensitive and must appear exactly as it is shown
here. See Chapter 3 Web-Based Management for more information on configuring the switch via your web
browser.
2.3.3 Connecting Via Telnet
To connect to the switch via a telnet session, you must first have configured your computer’s IP address to
be on the same IP address subnet as the switch (192.168.0.X). For more information on how to configure
your TCP/IP settings, please refer to your computer manufacturer’s user’s manual.
You may now run a telnet session to configure and manage your switch. The Main Menu will appear (unless
you have enabled the Password Protection feature), allowing you to select the variables that you wish to
configure. See Chapter 4 Console Interface for more information on configuring the switch via telnet.
