Chapter 2 Installation

Connecting to a Module Port

For information about installing and connecting to modules in the Catalyst

2924M XL and 2912MF XL expansion slots, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL

Modules Installation Guide and the Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules

Installation and Configuration Guide.

Connecting to the Console Port

Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch

console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you

want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit

(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For

console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter

Specifications” sectiononpageB-4.

The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The

terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal

or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or

terminal possible during the setup program.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Step 1 Configure your PC- or terminal-emulation software to communicate with the

switch through hardware flow control.

Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these

switch console port default characteristics:

• 9600 baud

• 8databits

• 1stopbit

• No parity

After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate back to its

original setting. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL

Software Configuration Guide for instructions.
