NETGEAR Managed Switch Connecting a Console to the Switch After you install the switch and apply power, you can connect to it with a terminal or workstation. You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to identify the IP address. To use a console you need the following items: • VT100/ANSI terminal, or a Windows PC, Apple Macintosh PC, or UNIX workstation. • USB console cable (shipped with the product) or a Null-modem cable with 9-pin connectors on each end. To connect a console to the switch: 1. Connect the null-modem cable to the console port on the rear of the switch or connect the USB console cable to the console USB port on the front of the switch.

If you attached a workstation, start a terminal-emulation program. • Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal if it comes with the Windows operating systems.

Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings: • Baud rate: 115,200 bps • Data bits: 8 • Parity: none • Stop bit: 1 • Flow control: none Hardware Installation 18
