Setting terminal parameters
To configure and manage the switch through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator
program, HyperTerminal or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal. You can use the emulator
program to connect a network device, a Telnet site, or an SSH site. For more information about the
terminal emulator programs, see the user guides for these programs.
The following are the required terminal settings:
•
Bits per second
—9600.
•
Data bits
—8.
•
Stop bits
—1.
•
Parity
—None.
•
Flow control
—None.

•
You know where the emergency power-off switch for the equipment room is located.
