Connecting The Aux Cable; Connecting Network Cables - H3C S12500 Installation Instructions Manual

Connecting the AUX Cable

You need an AUX cable when configuring a switch with the remote modem dial-up approach.
Introduction
An AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector that can be
plugged into the AUX port of the switch. At the other end is DB-9 (male) connector. You can plug it into
the DB-9 (female) port of the modem. An AUX cable is the same as a console cable. For details, refer to
Figure 3-16 and Table 3-2.
Connection procedures
Step1 Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the switch.
Step2 Plug the DB-9 (male) connector at the other end into the serial port of the modem.

Connecting Network Cables
