You can access the console port through a direct local connection, or
you can set up a remote connection using a modem.
The terminal or management station (with the terminal emulator)
connected to the console port must use the same settings as the
unit. By default, the unit has auto-configuration enabled which
changes the hub's console port settings to match those of the
connected equipment and automatically detects the baud rate (line
speed). The unit can auto-detect baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 and 19,200.
You need to use a null modem cable for connecting your terminal or
management station directly to the console port. This should be
available from your supplier. There are a variety of null modem cables
that you can use. For an example of one of these, refer to
