11.  While the GbE Interconnect Switch is in the download mode, change the baud rate of the 
HyperTerminal session to match the baud rate of the GbE Interconnect Switch shown in 
the display window. (The default is 115200, which is the fastest. If you need to change 
the baud rate of the GbE Interconnect Switch, refer to steps 5 through 9 for instructions.) 
To change the baud rate: 
a.  Disconnect the HyperTerminal session by selecting Call from the Interconnect 
Switch – HyperTerminal window menu, and then selecting Disconnect. 
b. From the Interconnect Switch – HyperTerminal window menu, select File then 
Properties. 
c. Click Configure. 
d.  Make the necessary changes to the baud rate and click OK. 
e.  After connecting HyperTerminal, a connection established message is displayed, as 
shown in Figure F-4. 
IMPORTANT: If the following screen displays unusual characters, this indicates a mismatched 
baud rate configuration somewhere in the network. Check HyperTerminal to determine if the baud 
rate setting on the GbE Interconnect Switch console interface and the HyperTerminal are 
mismatched.
