To use the console port, you need the following equipment:
—
A terminal or teletypewriter (TTY)-compatible terminal, or a portable
computer with a serial port and terminal-emulation software.
—
An Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed straight-through or null
modem RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the
console port on the switch. The other end of the cable must
use a connector appropriate to the serial port on your computer
or terminal. Most computers or terminals use a male DB-25
connector. You can find a null modem cable with the chassis.
You must shield the cable connected to the console port to comply with
emissions regulations and requirements.
