How do i telnet to my new switch?

I got the HP 2524

I check manual but it not say.

How do I get to the screen where I can set it up?

Help, this is my first time.

Thanks a ton, in advance.

Connect a serial cable from your PC to the console port on the switch. Access the switch via Hyperterminal or whatever terminal emulator you have available.

From here, you can set the switch's IP address. Once you've done that, you can access the switch via the web interface or via telnet.

What is Hyperterminal? How do i get that?

Hyperterminal is what Microsoft bundles with Windows as a terminal emulator. If you're running windows, you should already have it installed.

You'll find it under Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications.

Another alternative to using the console port on the switch (since you seem to be uncomfortable with terminal emulators) would be set up a reservation for the switch on your DHCP server--I believe HP ships them from the factory set to obtain an IP via DHCP.

I tried hyperterminal and it said empty, then I connect port 1 to my nic card, but cant telnet to the router...

hi,

i am not sure if you have already solved this, but before you can telnet to the device you need an IP address.

So if you just need to configure the switch you need to get a serial cable and connect it using as mentioned above Hyperterminal.

Make sure you have the correct settings in Hyperterminal, select: you com port, Flow Control: XON/XOFF, Baud rate 9600, Data bit:8, Parity: None, Stop bits:1.

When you connect tap the Enter key multiple times for the switch to respond.
