Figure 28: Connecting the NFX350 Device Directly to a Management Console
Connecting an NFX350 Device to a Management Console Using Mini-USB
Type-B Console Port
You can configure and manage NFX350 devices by using the RJ-45 console port or the Mini-USB Type-B
console port. However, the console input will be active only on one port at a time—only one port will be
set active at a time.
By default, the RJ-45 port is set as an active console port and the Mini-USB Type-B port is the passive
console port.
If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin or RJ-45 connector pin, you can connect
your laptop or PC directly to an NFX350 device by using a mini-USB cable that has a Standard-A USB
connector on one end and a Mini-USB Type-B (5 pin) connector on the other end.
This section describes the process of connecting an NFX350 device to the management console by using
the Mini-USB Type-B console port.
For information about configuring and managing an NFX350 device by using the RJ-45 console port, see
"Connecting an NFX350 Device to a Management Console" on page
Before you begin connecting an NFX350 device by using the Mini-USB Type-B console port:
