Connecting to a Module Port Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to a Module Port For information about installing and connecting to modules in the Catalyst 2924M XL and 2912MF XL module slots, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL Modules Installation Guide and the Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules Installation and Configuration Guide. Connecting 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 Configure your PC- or terminal-emulation software to communicate with the switch through hardware flow control. Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these switch console port default characteristics: • 9600 baud • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No parity After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate to its original setting. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide for instructions. 2-42 Catalyst 2900 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide 78-6461-04

Connecting to a Module Port
For information about installing and connecting to modules in the Catalyst
2924M XL and 2912MF XL module slots, refer to the
Catalyst 2900 Series XL
Modules Installation Guide
and the
Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules
Installation and Configuration Guide
.
Connecting 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
Configure your PC- or terminal-emulation software to communicate with the
switch through hardware flow control.
Step 2
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these
switch console port default characteristics:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate to its
original setting. See the
Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL
Software Configuration Guide
for instructions.
