Direct Access

Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a
terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port.
When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to
connect the switch to the PC. After making this connection, configure the terminal-
emulation program to use the following parameters:
• 57600 bps
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
