Connect a terminal (a PC in this scenario)
to the switch with a Console cable.
Figure 5-1 Networking
environment for switch configuration
Step 1: Insert the DB-9 (or DB-25) female
connector of the Console cable into the serial port on the PC (the Console
terminal).
Step 2: Insert the RJ-45 connector of the
cable into the Console port on the switch.
Set baud rate to 9600, data bits to 8,
parity check to none, stop bits to 1, flow control to none, and terminal
emulation to VT100.
This section will tell you how to set the
terminal parameters, taking a PC running Windows 98 HyperTerminal as an
example.
Step 1: Start PC, and run terminal
emulation program (such as Terminal of Windows3.1, or HyperTerminal of Windows
95/Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows NT/Windows XP/Windows ME) on PC.
Step 2: Set parameters in the HyperTerminal
of Windows98.
You are required to set the baud rate to
9600, data bits to 8, no parity check, stop bit to 1, and flow control to none,
and select VT100 for terminal emulation. Specifically,
1)
Click [Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications/HyperTerminal]
to access the Hyper Terminal window. Click icon 
in the window to set
up a new connection and the system will display the following Connection
Description interface.
Figure 5-2 Connection Description interface of HyperTerminal
2)
Enter the name of the new connection in the [Connection
Description] interface, click <OK>, and the system displays the following
interface. Select the target serial port to be used in [Connect using:].
Figure 5-3 Set the serial port to be used in the HyperTerminal
connection
3)
Click <OK> after selecting the serial port
and the system will display the following interface for you to set the
connecting serial interface parameters. Set the bits per second to 9600, data
bits to 8, no parity check, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none.
Figure 5-4 Set serial interface parameters
4)
Click <OK> upon the completion of the
serial interface parameter setting and the system will access the following
HyperTerminal interface.
Figure 5-5 HyperTerminal
Window
Select [Properties] in the HyperTerminal
dialog box to access the Properties Window. Click [Settings] in the Window (as
shown in the following figure), select VT100 for terminal emulation, and click
<OK> to confirm the settings.
You are recommended
to set the function, arrow and Ctrl keys to act as Windows keys.

You should verify the installation of the
switch before powering it on, to make sure that
l
The switch is stable enough.
l
All the boards have been correctly installed.
l
All the communication cables, fibers, power
cords, and grounding wires have been correctly connected.
l
The proper power voltage is used as required by
the switch.
l
The Console cable has been correctly connected,
the PC or terminal for configuration has been in service and all the required
terminal parameters have been set.
Caution:
Before powering on
the switch, locate the position of the power switch for the equipment room
where you will operate so that you can switch off the power supply promptly in
case of any accident.
l
Turn on the power switch of the power source
providing power to the switch.
l
Turn on the power switch of the PWR on the
switch.
To ensure the configuration works that you
will make on the switch, you are recommended to check the switch after powering
it on to make sure that:
l
The cooling system is working. In this case, you
can hear the noise caused by fan rotation and feel that there is air exhausted
out.
l
All the system LEDs on the SRPUs function
normal.
The S9505 switch is used as an example in
this section.
The following is the information that will
be output at the Console terminal when you power on and boot the switch.
