To configure, manage, and monitor the software features on the Switch, users can connect to the Command Line
Interface (CLI), Web User Interface (Web UI), or through the means of third-party SNMP software.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI provides access to all of the software features available on the Switch. These features can be enabled,
configured, disabled, or monitored by simply entering the appropriate command after the CLI prompt and pressing the
Enter key. The Console port offers an Out-Of-Band (OOB) connection to the CLI and the LAN ports offers an in-band
connection to the CLI using Telnet or SSH.
NOTE: For more information about the CLI, refer to the DGS-1520 Series CLI Reference Guide.
Connecting to the Console Port
The Console port is used to connect to the CLI of the Switch. Connect the DB9 connector of the console cable
(included in the packaging) to the Serial (COM) port of the computer. Connect the RJ45 connector of the console
cable to the Console port on the Switch.
To access the CLI through the Console port, Terminal Emulation Software must be used like PuTTY or Tera Term.
The Switch uses a connection of 115200 bits per second with no flow control enabled.
