xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis 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 you select Terminal keys (not Windows keys). NOTE: When you use HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows you to use arrow keys in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs. 9. After correctly setting 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 you have 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. User names and passwords must first be created by the administrator. If user accounts have been previously configured, 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 DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI on the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on using the CLI. 13. When tasks 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 there are problems making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. Users will be able to set the emulation by clicking on the File menu in you HyperTerminal window, clicking on Properties in the drop-down menu, and then clicking the Settings tab. Here users will find the Emulation options. If there is still nothing present on the screen, try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting its power supply. Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on your 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. 14
