Chapter 2 Installing and Starting Up the Switch Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port For more information on the GigaStack GBIC connections and configuration scenarios, see the Catalyst GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter Hardware Installation Guide. Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the "Cable and Adapter Specifications" section on page B-4. The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal-emulation software-frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or Procomm Plus-makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible during the setup program. Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch: Step 1 Step 2 Be sure that your PC- or terminal-emulation software is configured to communicate with the switch via hardware flow control. Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics: • 9600 baud • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No parity After you have gained access to the switch, you can change the port baud rate. See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide for instructions. 78-6456-04 Catalyst 3500 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide 2-23

Chapter 2
Installing and Starting Up the Switch
Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port
For more information on the GigaStack GBIC connections and configuration
scenarios, see the
Catalyst GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter Hardware
Installation Guide
.
Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port
Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch
console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you
want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For
console port and adapter pinout information, see the
“Cable and Adapter
Specifications” section on page B-4
.
The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The
terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal
or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or
terminal possible during the setup program.
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:
Step 1
Be sure that your PC- or terminal-emulation software is configured to
communicate with the switch via hardware flow control.
Step 2
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these
console port default characteristics:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
After you have gained access to the switch, you can change the port baud rate. See
the
Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide
for instructions.
