Console and management connections

The front panel of the switch contains the Status LEDs, Console port, and a USB 2.1 port.
The rear panel of the switch contains the Base Unit switch.

Console port

The console port is the RJ45 port with a blue border outline. You can use the console port to
establish a management terminal connection to the switch. You can use an RJ45 to DB-9 cable, or
a DB-9 to RJ45 adapter to connect the switch console port to your management terminal. The
maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).
The following figure and table describe the RJ45 console port pin-out information. You can use the
pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.
