Installation Procedures
Installing the Switch
Direct Console Access
To connect a console to the
switch, follow these steps:
1. Connect the PC or
terminal to the switch’s
Console Port using the
console cable included
with the Switch. (If your
PC or terminal has a 25-pin
serial connector, first
attach a 9-pin to 25-pin
straight-through adapter
at one end of the console
cable.)
2. Turn on the terminal or
PC’s power and, if using a
PC, start the PC terminal
program.
3. Press
[Enter] two or three
times and you will see the
copyright page and the
message “Press any key to continue”. Press a key, and you will then see
the switch console command (CLI) prompt, for example:
ProCurve Switch 2510G-24#
If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time,
see chapter 3, “Configuring the Switch” for some basic configuration steps.
For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Configuration
Guide, which is available on the ProCurve Web site www.procurve.com.
