This Chapter is only for Master Hub configuration and management. When
installing the 10/100 Managed Hub the first time, it is necessary to config-
ure the hub through the Console Interface.

You can set up a management session by connecting a direct RS-232 cable
between the management port on the 10/100 Managed Hub and the
communication port of your PC or terminal.
To connect a local terminal to the 10/100 Managed Hub, do the following:
1. Install a terminal emulation application such as Windows
Hyperterminal on your PC.
2. Configure the terminal emulation application as follows:
Baud rate ........ 9600
Parity .............. None
Data bits ......... 8
Stop bits .......... 1
Flow Control .... None
VT-100............ Configuration
3. If you are using Microsoft Windows terminal emulation,
disable the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows”
option in the Terminal Preferences menu under Settings.
4. Connect the console management port on the 10/100 Managed
Hub to your PC or DTE device using a serial cable. The
10/100 Managed Hub has a 9-pin, female connector.
