Console into the switch
The SX Series switches have a console port to serve as a back-door entrance to the switch. This
can be beneficial in case the switch is not functioning properly or if the incorrect IP address was
configured.
To console into the switch:
1 Connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the switch, then connect the
other end to your computer. If your computer doesn’t have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial
adapter.
On your computer, open PuTTY or Terra Term, enter the COM port that your computer is
using, then set the following:
Baud Rate: 115200
Character Size: 8
Parity Code: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
The following is an example if you are using PuTTY:
a. Click Session on the left side, select Serial for the connection type, then click Open
to initiate the console session.
b. After the connection is established, enter the switch username and password (default
is pakedge/pakedges). You now have console access into the switch.
