1. Make sure console port settings of the switch match the settings of the terminal, PC, or laptop. The default settings of the switch console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
2. Connect the rollover console cable to the CONSOLE port on the switch.
3. Connect the other end of the rollover cable to your terminal, PC, or laptop
(if necessary, use an appropriate adapter, such as the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter).
4. From your terminal, PC, or laptop, start the terminal emulation program.
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the switch and the other end to a power source.
2. Wait approximately 2 minutes for the switch to complete its power-on self-test (POST) and to discover the network.
After POST completes, the Continue with configuration dialog? prompt appears on the management station. You can then follow the prompts to assign IP information to the switch.
| Assign IP Information to the Switch |
The switch is designed to operate with little or no user intervention. In most cases, you can use it with its default settings.
Assign IP information to the switch so that you can use the Cisco 1548 Switch Manager web-based interface and the switch can communicate with local routers and the Internet.
Contact your system administrator for the switch IP information, and record it here.
Switch IP address:
Subnet mask:
Default gateway:
1. From the terminal or PC, enter Y:
Continue with configuration dialog? Y
2. Enter the IP address (for example: 10.1.105.20):
Enter IP address: 10.1.105.20
3. Enter the subnet mask (IP netmask)
(for example: 255.255.255.0):
Enter IP netmask: 255.255.255.0
4. Enter the IP address of the default gateway (for example: 10.1.105.254):
Enter IP default gateway: 10.1.105.254
The following information is displayed:
The following configuration command script was created: ip address 10.1.105.20 255.255.255.0 ip default-gateway 10.1.105.254 ! end
5. Enter Y:
Use this configuration? Y
The following information is displayed:

6. Press Return.
7. Exit from the terminal session.
You can now display the Cisco 1548 Switch Manager.
| Display the Cisco 1548 Switch Manager |
If you have the IP address to the switch, you can display the Cisco 1548 Switch Manager from your intranet. You can use the Cisco 1548 Switch Manager to configure and monitor the switch.
1. Start Netscape Communicator (4.03 or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer
(4.01 or higher). Make sure that Java and JavaScript are enabled.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch in the URL field if you are using Communicator
(the Address field if you are using Internet Explorer).
