Connect the Console Port
The command line interface (CLI) management tool allows you to configure the switch and display the
switch status. When a switch starts up for the first time, the only CLI access available is through the
console port (CP).
Connect a VT-100 compatible terminal to the CP on the PXM-UI-S3. Connect the terminal to a power
source and set it up using the values that are shown in
Table 3-4. Figure 3-26 shows the hardware
required for a CP connection.
