1.Setting up the configuration environment: To set up the configuration environment, connect a terminal (a PC in this example) to the console port on the
switch with a console cable. A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the console port of
the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal.
Use a console cable to connect a terminal device to the switch, as follows:
Plug the DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the console terminal or PC.
Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Identify the mark on the console port to ensure that you are connecting to the correct port.CAUTION
:NOTE
The serial port on a PC does not support hot swapping. When you connect a PC to a powered-on switch,connect the DB-9 connector of the console
cable to the PC before connecting the RJ-45 connector to theswitch.
When you disconnect a PC from a powered-on switch, Disconnect the DB-9 connector of the consolecable from the PC after disconnecting the
RJ-45 connector from the switch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Setting terminal parameters

Bits per second—38400
Data bits—8
Parity—None
Stop bits—1
Flow control—None
Emulation—VT100


Select , and in the dialog box that appears, type the nameStart > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal Connection Description
of the new connection in the box and click .Name text OK

Select the serial port to be used from the drop-down list, and click .Connect using OK
, SetBits per second to 38400 Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, and Flow control to None, and click OK.

Select File > Properties in the HyperTerminal window
