Introducing the SMT 4-1
This chapter introduces the basics of SMT.
4.1 Connecting to the Console Port
The Console configuration (out of band) allows you to set your switch to enable a user at a remote console terminal
to communicate with the switch as if the console terminal were directly connected to it.
The Console port uses a male DB-9 connector to connect to a computer or terminal for monitoring and configuring
the switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or computer to the
Console port.

4.2 Establishing the Console Port Connection
After the switch is connected to a computer, turn on the computer and run a terminal emulation program (i.e. Hyper
Terminal in Windows) and configure its communication parameters to match the following default characteristics
of the console port.
