Overview
Another way to configure the switch is through the Local Management
interface. Local Management provides the same functionality as the Web
Device Manager using a text-based interface.
Accessing Management
You can access Local Management in two different ways: by connecting
directly to the switch’s serial port, or through a Telnet session (using an
assigned IP address or the default of 192.0.2.1).
To use the serial port
1 Use the enclosed null modem cable to connect the serial port of your PC
to the serial port of the switch.
2 Start a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal* or
Symantec Procomm Plus* in Windows* 98). Use these communication
parameters:
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit
• 8 data bits • No flow control
• No parity
3 Press E to connect to the Local Management.
4 Log on to Local Management. By default, no password or username is
assigned. To assign them, see the section titled “Administer User
Accounts” in this chapter.

NOTE
You use the same user name and
password to log in to Web Device
Manager and Local Management.
