Connect the Console Cable

Before connecting to a terminal, PC, or

laptop, make sure its settings match those of the console port on the switch. The default settings of the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no ﬂow control.

Console port

(RJ-45)

RJ-45-to-DB-9 or

(labeled Terminal)

From your terminal or PC, start the

terminal emulation program.

Power Up the Switch

Connect one end of the power cord to

the switch and the other end to an AC power outlet.

Connect the supplied rollover cable to

the console port on the switch. Connect the other end of the console

cable to a terminal, PC, or laptop running terminal emulation software (such as ProComm or HyperTerminal) by using an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (supplied) or, if necessary, an RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter (not supplied).

Note: If you are connecting to a Cisco 600W AC redundant power system (RPS), refertothe Catalyst 1900 Series Installation andConﬁguration Guide and the latest RPS documentation for more information.

Wait approximately 2 minutes for the

switchto complete itspower-onself-test (POST) and to discover the network.

Assign IP Information and a Password to the Switch

You assign an IP address to the switch so that you can use the switch management interfaces and so that the switch can communicate with local routers and the Internet. Assigning a password provides security against unauthorized access to the options available from the management interfaces and is required for using the Catalyst 1900 Switch Manager.

Note: If the switch will be a cluster member, it is not always necessary to assign IP information ora password, as the switch will be accessed and managed through the password and IP address of the command

switch. Refer to the Catalyst 1900 Series Installation and Conﬁguration Guide for more information.
