Your Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch supports a console
management interface that allows you to set up and control
your Switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal
emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP TELNET
protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic
network management functions. In addition, the console
program will allow you to set up the Switch for management
using an SNMP-based network management system. This
chapter describes how to use the console interface to access
the Switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.
Connecting to the Switch
You can use the console interface by connecting the Switch to
a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an
ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the terminal program
included with the Windows operating system) using an RS-
232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set
to:
♦ VT-100/ANSI compatible
