and, as a result, improve its overall performance as well as the performance of your network. The remainder of this section describes how to initialize the management software to the first time you use the management features. After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can configure it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation that is directly connected to the switch's console port. Thereafter, you can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to the switch and manage it through a Web browser, Telnet session, or SNMP management application. For more information about using the console, see Chapter 6, Administration Console Access. This example shows screenshots of the FSM726S, but the procedure is the same for the FSM750S. To connect a console to the switch: 1. Connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation to the switch's console port, labeled Console, using the null- modem cable supplied with the switch. The supplied null-modem cable has 9-pin connectors on each end. Note: you must connect the console cable to the master switch. Connecting the console cable a slave switch will not allow configuration. Note: If you are stacking your switches, you only have to configure the Master unit via the Console port. Once you have assigned an IP address to the master unit, you can use the browser interface to configure the other units. 2. If you attached a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program. Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the Windows operating systems. Macintosh users can use ZTerm. UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP. 3. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings: Baud rate: 9,600 bps Data bits: 8 Parity: none Stop bit: 1 Flow control: none Page 22 of 121

initialize the management software to the first time you use the management features.
After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can configure it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation
that is directly connected to the switch’s console port. Thereafter, you can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to the switch
and manage it through a Web browser, Telnet session, or SNMP management application.
For more information about using the console, see
Chapter 6, Administration Console Access.
This example shows screenshots of the FSM726S, but the procedure is the same for the FSM750S.
To connect a console to the switch:
1.
Connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation to the switch’s console port, labeled Console, using the null-
modem cable supplied with the switch. The supplied null-modem cable has 9-pin connectors on each end.
Note
: you must connect the console cable to the master switch. Connecting the console cable a slave switch will not allow configuration.
Note
: If you are stacking your switches, you only have to configure the Master unit via the Console port.
Once you have assigned an IP address to
the master unit, you can use the browser interface to configure the other units.

If you attached a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program.
Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the Windows operating systems.
Macintosh users can use
ZTerm.
UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.
3.
Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: none
