Can someone please point me to a thingy to sshow me how to do this? or explain to me what i need to do?

I have tried hyper term, and putty, but other then openning them to a com port i have no idea what to do,, and that does nothing.

NetGear uses a web interface, find the switches ip address and open it in a browser. If you don't know the IP look in the switches manual to find the default one and.or look for the Discovery Wizzard software from the switches vendor download page to look for it that way.

No such thing exists, I have already spent a long time looking for them

So read the manual and console into it:

ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GSM7200_HIG.pdf

 

Once you console into it with a serial cable you will be able to find the IP address and use the web interface. You could also try looking for the switches MAC address in DHCP to find the address.

i tried looking in the dhcp, it's not claiming an i.p. there.

connect a serial lead from switch to pc (there are 2 types of serial lead only one works either a modem lead or a null modem lead)

run hyper terminal

set up a new connection to comx

connect

iirc its just menus go through them

older ones dont until you turn it on via a console session
