There is a single serial console port on the switch, using a USB Type-C connector. This port is used to connect a
console to the switch. Use a common USB to USB-C cable (must be data capable). A USB-A Bluetooth adapter
(separately orderable, SKU# S1H23A) is available to provide an alternative way of managing and configuring your
switch using a mobile app. The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100
terminal.

the front of the switch. The USB-C has precedence for input. If both cables are plugged in, the console output is
echoed to both the RJ-45 and the USB-C, but the input is only accepted from the USB-C.
