18 ZT8101 User’s Manual
Installation and Initial Setup
The serial port on the front panel uses Cisco* cable kit (Order Number: ACS-DSBUASYN). This
kit includes a DB25 terminal adapter, a DB-9 terminal adapter, and RJ-45 rollover cable.
A terminal (such as a VT-100) or a computer running a terminal emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal, which is automatically installed with Windows*) is connected to this cable.
The serial port is set at the factory for the following configuration:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data width: 8 bits
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
Make sure the terminal or computer you are using to make this connection is configured to match
these settings.
If you are having problems making this connection on a computer, make sure the emulation is set
to VT-100. If you still don’t see anything, press CTRL+R to refresh the screen.
To log in to the switch the first time
The usernames and passwords used to access the switch are case sensitive; therefore, “S” is not the
same as “s.”
When you first connect to the switch, you will be presented with a login screen.
1. Use the Arrow keys or the Tab key to move to the Username field. Leave the field blank and
press Enter. There is no initial username.
2. Move to the Password field. Leave the field blank and press Enter. There is no initial
password. The Main Menu appears.
The first created user automatically gets administrator privileges. One of your first configuration
tasks should be to create at least one Admin-level user for the switch to protect it from
unauthorized users.
Press CTRL+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at any time to force the console
program in the switch to refresh the console screen.
Setting the IP Address
You use the Basic Network Setup menu to set the boot-up operation for obtaining an IP address or
to manually assign the IP address for the switch. The switch needs a valid IP address for your
network to access the switch via Telnet or the Web.
To configure the IP address
1. From the Main Menu, select Basic Network Setup and press Enter.
