Serial Interface Configuration
Use the IP Address Configuration Utility (see to page 4-3) to configure the Switch
with its initial IP address configuration.
Alternatively, you can use the serial interface configuration menu to access
the Switch from the serial interface of your PC. Typically the serial interface
configuration procedure is only necessary in a system recovery situation. The
serial interface configuration menu allows you to give the Switch a
Management IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address so that you
can use a Web browser for management.
Prerequisites
The terminal emulator on your PC must use the following
communications parameters:
