Chapter 5  System Commissioning

5.1  Configuration Environment Setup

5.1.1  Setting up Networking Environment

A terminal (a PC in this example) is connected to the switch Console port through a Console cable.

Figure 5-1 Configuration environment

5.1.2  Connecting the Console Cable

Step 1: Plug the DB-9 female plug of the Console cable to the serial port of the PC or the terminal where the switch is to be configured.

Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the Console cable to the Console port of the switch.

5.1.3  Setting Terminal Parameters

Parameter requirements:

l           Bits per second: 9600

l           Data bits: 8

l           Parity: none

l           Stop bits: 1

l           Flow control: none

l           Emulation: VT100

Taking the PC running Windows XP HyperTerminal as an example, this section introduces how to set the terminal parameters.

 

 

Step 1: Start the PC and run the terminal emulator.

Step 2: Set the parameters for Windows XP HyperTerminal as follows:

1)         Select Start > Programs/All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal to enter the HyperTerminal window to establish a new connection and the system will display the Connection Description dialog box.

Figure 5-2 Connection description of HyperTerminal

2)         Input the name of the new connection and click <OK>. Then there pops up the interface as shown in the following figure. Select the serial port to be used from the “Connect using” drop down list.

3)         After selecting serial ports, click <OK>. The following interface will pop up for setting serial port parameters. Set the bits per second to 9600, data bits to 8, parity check to none, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none.

4)         After setting serial port parameters, click <OK>. Then the system will enter the HyperTerminal dialogue box as shown in the following figure.

Figure 5-5 HyperTerminal interface

In the above dialogue box, select the Properties icon to enter the properties window. Click Settings to set the attributes (see the following figure). In this interface, select terminal emulation mode VT100 and then click <OK>.

5.2  Power-on

5.2.1  Check before Power-on

Before powering on an Ethernet Switch, check that:

l           The switch has been mounted steadily.

l           All the cards have been correctly installed.

l           All the communication cables, fibers, power cables, and grounding cables have been correctly connected.

l           The voltage of power supply meets the requirements on the switch.

l           The Console cable has been correctly connected. The computer or terminal for configuration has been started and the terminal parameter settings have been done.

 

 

5.2.2  Power-on

l           Turn on the power supply of the switch.

l           Power on the switch.

5.2.3  Check after Power-on (Recommended)

You are recommended to check as follows after powering on the switch to ensure the configurations thereafter.

l           After a switch is powered on, the heat dissipation system starts working. You can hear the noise as the fan rotates and feel air flow out from the vent.

l           Check if any system indicator on the SRPU indicates abnormal condition.

5.2.4  Starting the Interface

As the switch is started, the configuration terminal will yield the following output:
