USER’S GUIDE
68 CyberSWITCH
Using the provided RS232 null modem cable, attach an administration console to the system. The
administration port is a 9-pin, male RS232 serial adapter as shown below:
Connect one end of a null modem cable to the console port on the CyberSWITCH, and the other
end to the communication port on the PC. On the PC you must then execute a communication
package to emulate a terminal (VT100). Your communication package should support file transfer
(Xmodem and ASCII) for software upgrades and installations.
Use the following default values for your communication package:
Baud rate 9600
Parity None
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Duplex Full
C
HANGING THE BAUD RATE
The baud rate is changeable. The default rate performs well for configuration changes. A faster rate
is useful, however, to download new software upgrades to your system.
To change the baud rate through CFGEDIT:
1. Select Physical Resources from the main menu.
2. Select Data Line from the physical resources menu.
3. Follow the instructions to make changes to the ASYNCMDM.
4. When asked, enter the baud rate you want to use.
5. Step through the remaining parameters. The last entry will ask you if you would like to save
your changes. Answer yes.
6. To make the new baud rate effective, restart the system (with the
restart
command).
7. Change the communications package you are using to the same baud rate.
