1.3 Initial set up for management
There are two ways to perform the initial setup for the Switch; one is “Out-of-Band
Configuration” (connect your PC’s serial port to the Switch’s console port with the
included RS-232 serial cable and run terminal communication program) and the other
is “In-Band Configuration” (network a PC to the Switch and run web browser or
telnet). The sections below describe how to perform both operations.
1.3.1 Out-of-Band Terminal Mode Configuration
If you are using Microsoft Windows, boot up the computer, go to “Start”, “Programs”,
“Accessories”, “Communications”, and open the “HyperTerminal”. After that follow the
instructions below to setup a new terminal connection for the Switch. If you are using
other communication software, please select the correct COM port and setup the
connection properties according to step 3 below.
1. Type in a name for the connection (e.g. SNMP Switch), select an icon for the
connection, and click “OK”.
2. Select the COM port that you are using for this connection and click “OK”.
3. Setup the COM port properties by using the information below and click “OK”.
Bits Rate per Second = 9600
Data Bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Bit = 1
Flow Control = None
4. Connect the included serial cable from the computer’s COM port to the Switch’s
console port.
5. Power on the Switch, you should see some boot-up messages displayed within
your “HyperTerminal” session. The Switch’s Power On Self Diagnostic (POSD)
takes about 100 seconds to complete. After that, you will see the login screen. If
the Switch is already powered on and finished its self-diagnostic, after running the
terminal communication program, please hit “Enter” once to get the login prompt.
6. At the “username” field type in admin and hit “Enter”.
7. At the “password” field type in lindy and hit “Enter”. You are now logged into the
Switch’s configuration program.
8. On the lower portion of the screen, you will see descriptions of the navigation keys
(e.g. Tab, Space Bar, and Enter). Please use these keys to move around the
configuration program.
