[. . . ] If using a PC, power up the switch and set the terminal emulation type to VT100 and specify the PC port used (i. e. , COM1, etc. ). Then, set the communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 9600 or 19200 bps. Remote Management via the Console Port The Console port can also be used for switch management via a remote PC connected through a modem: The TigerSwitch 100 Site Connect the Console port to the modem's serial port using standard cabling (e. g. , not a null modem cable). Therefore, you will have to provide an RS232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end (for the switch's Console port) and a 25-pin connector on the other. The modem at the switch site does not have to be set because the switch will automatically configure it to auto-answer mode. (See Appendix B for 25-pin and 9-pin connector pinouts. ) The Remote PC site At the remote PC site, connect the PC's COM port (COM1, etc. ) to the modem's serial port. Make sure the modem's baud rate is 4-5 CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT 9600 and the AT command set is supported. Set the terminal emulation type on the PC to VT100 and specify which PC COM port is being used. Then, set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and the baud rate to 9600 or 19200 bps. In-Band Connections Telnet Telnet is a common terminal emulation application used in TCP/IP networks for remote terminal access to computer devices. Prior to accessing the switch in-band via Telnet or optional in-band management software, it must first be configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. Once the switch's IP parameters are configured, the menudriven System Configuration Program may be accessed from anywhere in the network. SNMP Network Connection You can access the TigerSwitch 100's on-board SNMP agent from any PC in the network that is running an SNMP-based manager (i. e. , SMC's EliteView). However, prior to accessing the switch this way, it must first be configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and community string using an out-of-band connection. 4-6 CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT The System Configuration Program Login The System Configuration Program software types and versions appear on this screen. The default passwords for the System Configuration Program are "admin" and "guest". The admin password provides administrator rights (i. e. , Read/Write access to configuration parameters and statistical information). The guest password provides only observer rights (i. e. , Read-only access to statistical information and no access to Configuration or Software Download menus). The default passwords should be changed to prevent unauthorized access.
