3.1.1 Console Port
For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software
configured to the following parameters:
• VT100
• Terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
• No flow control
Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the Switch.
Connect the female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your
computer.

3.1.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In
10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000
Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex or full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed
(10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the
connected device.

DESCRIPTION
Each interface has one 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and one Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) slot (also called a mini-GBIC slot), with one port or
transceiver active at a time.
• Four 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports:
Connect these ports to high-bandwidth backbone network Ethernet
switches using 1000BASE-T compatible Category 5/5e/6 copper cables.
• Four Mini-GBIC Slots:
Use mini-GBIC transceivers in these slots for connections to backbone
Ethernet switches.
The console port is for local configuration of the Switch.
Connect the alarm input pins to alarm output terminals on other pieces of
equipment.
Connect the alarm output pins to an alarm input terminal on another piece
of equipment.
See Chapter 41 on page 335 for details on the pin assignments required.
