Appendix A: Terminal
Operations
Each RCS may be configured at the switch level through the Console menu
interface accessed through the SETUP port. All terminal commands are accessed
through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
NOTE: The preferred method is to make all configuration settings in the local
UI.
To connect a terminal to the switch:
1 Using the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 (female) adaptor and flat RJ-45 cable,
connect a terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software
(such as HyperTerminal) to the SETUP port on the back panel of the
switch. The terminal settings are 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 bits, 1 stop
bit, no parity and no flow control.
2 Turn on each target device and then turn on the switch. When the switch
completes initialization, the Console menu will display the following
message: Press any key to continue.

Console Boot Menu Options

While the switch is turning on, you can press a key to view the boot menu.
From this menu, you can choose one of four options.
• Boot Normal
• Boot Alternate Firmware
• Reset Factory Defaults
