Administration Console Access
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, VT-100/ANSI menu-driven user
interface for management configuration activities. View the administration console from a
terminal, PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation connected to the switch console port.
3.1 Direct Access Management Method
The direct access management method is required when initially setting up the switch.
Thereafter, Symbol recommends using the Web management access method (described in
Chapter 4) to manage the switch if unfamiliar with command line configuration. Advanced users
are recommended to use the CLI commands described in Chapter 5 to manage the switch.
Direct access to the switch console is available by connecting the switch console port to a VT-
100 or compatible terminal or to a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation equipped with a
terminal-emulation program. Use the null-modem cable supplied with the switch to secure the
connection.
