Introduction - D-Link DES-1228 Reference Manual

The Switch can be managed through the Switch's serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The Command Line
Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet interfaces.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Configuration and management of the Switch via
the Web-based management agent is discussed in the Manual. This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained
in the CLI for members of this series, including the DES-1228/ME. Examples present in this manual may refer to any member of
this series and may show different port counts, but are universal to this series of switches, unless otherwise stated. Configuration
and management of the Switch via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the User's Guide.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
no parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port configured as above
are then connected to the Switch's serial port via an RS-232 DB-9 cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this screen does not
appear, try pressing Ctrl+r to refresh the console screen.
