See Appendix C, “Connecting to DC Power,” for DC power connection instructions.
Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software
Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output
display from the power-on self-test (POST).
The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or
ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Follow these steps to start a terminal-emulation session:
Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.
Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• None (flow control)
