Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
Configuring the Management Console
To set up a console to manage the switch through the Console port connection:
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or
use a VT-100 terminal.
2. Configure the terminal with the following settings:
• A baud rate from 1200 to 115200 (the switch senses the speed)
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• For the Windows Terminal program, disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and C
trl Keys for Windows” option.
• For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, Arrow, and C
trl Keys act as” parameter.
If you use a management console with different configuration settings, be sure
to reconfigure the settings on both the terminal and the switch in the following
order so that both configurations are compatible:
1. Reconfigure the switch and save the new settings.
2. Reconfigure the terminal and save the new settings.
3. Reboot the switch and re-establish the console session.
Setting Up an Out-of-Band Console Connection
To access a 6600 Switch through an out-of-band (Console port) connection,
follow these steps:
1. Configure the management console as described in “Configuring the
Management Console” on page 2-29.
2. For a direct console connection, connect the PC or terminal to the
Console serial port using the console cable shipped with the switch:
• A DB9-to-DB9 console cable and a DB9-to-RJ45 adapter are shipped
with the 6600-24G, 6600-24G-4XG Switches.
• A DB9-to-RJ45 console cable is shipped with the 6600-24XG, 6600-
48G, and 6600-48G-4XG Switches. For the DB9-to-RJ45 console cable
pinouts, see “RJ45-to-DB9 Console Cable Pinouts” on page 2-31.
