Manually Configuring IP Information 39

Pre-requisites

■ A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as

Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate

with the Switch via the console port directly, or through a modem.

■ Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.

■ A suitable cable:

■ A standard null modem cable — if you are connecting directly to

the console port, or

■ A standard modem cable — if you are connecting to the console

port using a modem.

You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables in Appendix B on page 67.

■ You need to have the following so that you can manually set up the

Switch with IP information:

■ IP address

■ subnet mask

■ default gateway

Connecting the Workstation to the Switch

1 Connect the workstation to the console port using a standard null

modem cable as shown in Figure 11

c Connect the other end of the cable to one of the serial ports (also

known as a COM port) on your workstation.
