Terminal Setup
Three are ways to access and setup your switch. They are:
• RS-232 console
• Telnet
• Web Browser
RS-232 console
To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to the serial (console) port of the GE-DSH-82 Managed
Switch. The console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can
connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.
Figure 3: Terminal setup diagram
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the GE-DSH-
73, GE-DSH-82 and the GE-DSH-82-PoE Managed Switch. Window’s Hyper
Terminal program is a good choice. Hyper Terminal program can be accessed
from the Start menu.
1. Click START, then Programs/ Accessories and then Hyper Terminal.
2. When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be
configured as:
• Baud : 9600
• Parity : None
• Data bits : 8
• Stop bits : 1
• Flow Control: None
