Introducing the SMT
This chapter introduces the basics of managing the switch.
13.1 Introduction
The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu – driven interface that you use to
configure the switch. You may access the SMT using either Telnet or the console port.
If there is no activity for longer than 5 minutes after you log in,
your switch will automatically log you out.
13.2 Accessing the SMT Using Telnet
Follow the steps below to access the SMT screens using a Telnet program.
Step 1. Launch a Telnet program. In Windows, click Start and then Run.
Step 2. Type “telnet” followed by a space and the IP address of the switch,
(192.168.1.1 is the default) and then click OK to display the password screen.
Refer to Figure 13-3.

13.3 Accessing the SMT Using the Console Port
The console configuration is for local management and initial configuration of the switch.
Use an RS-232 console cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or
computer to the console port.
