4. Configuration
Upon power on, this Switching Hub starts working as a switching hub. To use
the SNMP management functionality or other unique functions, you need to
configure the Switching Hub using a console port, Telnet, or SSH.
In this chapter, the configuration of this Switching Hub is explained.
Note:
You need to configure an IP address to access this Switching Hub via
Telnet or SSH. Therefore, configure an IP address first via the console
port, before accessing via Telnet or SSH.
4.1. Connecting via Console Port
Console connection requires a DEC VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal,
or a terminal capable of running a VT100-compatible terminal emulator,
such as HyperTerminal on Windows XP or older. Connect a terminal of this
kind to the console port of this Switching Hub.
Configure the communication mode for the asynchronous terminal as
follows:
Transmission mode: RS-232C (ITU-TS V.24 compatible)
Emulation mode:
VT100
Transmission speed: 9600 bps
Data length:
8 bit
Stop bit:
1 bit
Parity control:
None
Flow control:
None
