Console Port Configuration
You can access the on-board configuration program by attaching a VT100
compatible device to the switch's serial port. You can also use SLIP protocol to
connect to this port from a remote location via modems. Using a SLIP
connection, the system functions similar to a router, allowing you to manage the
switch using Telnet, a web browser, or network management software such as
AccView. (For more information on connecting to this port, refer to page 1-2.)
The communication parameters for this port are accessed from the Console Port
Configuration screen seen below and described in the following table.
