D-Link DGS-3048 [23/147] First time connecting to the switch

DGS-3048 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual

NOTE: When you use HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000

operating system, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or

later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows you to use arrow keys

in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for

information on Windows 2000 service packs.

9. After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of the

Switch. The boot sequence appears in the terminal.

10. After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays.

11. If you have not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press the Enter key at the User name and

password prompts. There is no default user name and password for the Switch. User names and passwords must

first be created by the administrator. If you have previously set up user accounts, log in and continue to configure

the Switch.

12. Enter the commands to complete your desired tasks. Many commands require administrator-level access privileges.

Read the next section for more information on setting up user accounts. See the DGS-

3048 Command Line

Interface Reference Manual on the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on

using the CLI.

13. When you have completed your tasks, exit the session with the logout command or close the emulator program.

Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this connection is configured to match these settings.

If you are having problems making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. You will be able to

set the emulation by clicking on the File menu in you HyperTerminal window, clicking on Properties in the drop-down

menu, and then clicking the Settings tab. This is where you will find the Emulation options. If you still do not see anything,

try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting its power supply.

Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on your console screen. This is where the user will enter

commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a username and a

password. Upon the initial connection, there is no username or password and therefore just press Enter twice to access the

command line interface.

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow you to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or

changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch.

NOTE: The passwords used to access the Switch are case-sensitive;

therefore, "S" is not the same as "s”.

NOTE: Press Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. This command can be used at

any time to force the console program in the Switch to refresh the console

screen.

Press

Enter in both the Username and Password fields. You will be given access to the command prompt DGS-3048:4#
