xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual 2. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as follows: 3. Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2). 4. Set the data rate to 115200 baud. 5. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. 6. Set flow control to none. 7. Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode. 8. Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the Terminal keys are selected (not Windows keys). NOTE: When using HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system, ensure that Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows arrow keys to be used in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs. 9. After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch. The boot sequence appears in the terminal. 10. After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays. 11. If the user has not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press the Enter key at the User name and password prompts. There is no default user name and password for the Switch. The administrator must first create user names and passwords. If user accounts have been previously set up, log in and continue to configure the Switch. 12. Enter the commands to complete desired tasks. Many commands require administrator-level access privileges. Read the next section for more information on setting up user accounts. See the xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series CLI Manual on the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on using the CLI. 13. When the commands have been completed, exit the session with the logout command or close the emulator program. Make sure the terminal or PC used to make this connection is configured to match these settings. If problems occur in making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. The emulation settings can be configured by clicking on the File menu in the HyperTerminal window by clicking on Properties in the drop-down menu, and then clicking the Settings tab. This is where you will find the Emulation options. If you still do not see anything, try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting its power supply. Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is where the user will enter commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and a password. Upon the initial connection, there is no user name or password and therefore just press enter twice to access the command line interface. Figure 4- 1. Initial screen after first connection. 24
