You cant normally telnet to a switch, a switch has no IP addy of it own, the
RJ45 doesn't stand for an IP connection, its a different kind of direct
cable connection.
Telnet is only possible in the most sophisticated switches which are
actually more like routers, those have an IP addy.

I find it very unlikely that there's no way to configure your switch. I
think
all modern hubs/switches come with some sort of configuration utility and/or
a special configuration port. It could be an RJ45 or a serial port. If you
got a CD with the switch, check for a configuration utility that can be
installed on a Windows client. If you didn't get a CD, search 3com's (it's a
3com switch, right?) website for a downloadable configuration utility. Also
try to connect to it by telnet or through a web browser.
Cheers,
Henry
