Command Line Interface
You can manage the switch from the command-line interface (CLI) by
connecting your personal computer directly to the switch console port or
through the network by using Telnet.
Follow these steps to access the CLI through the console port.
1. Connect the supplied RJ45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to the standard 9-pin
serial port on the personal computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the switch.
3. Start a terminal-emulation program on the personal computer.
4. Configure the personal computer terminal emulation software for
9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
WARNING: The console port is intended for temporary local
programming purposes only and not intended for permanent
connection. If you connect or disconnect the console cable with
power applied to this module or the programming device on the
other end of the cable, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
