Cabling a Maintenance Terminal

4.5 Cabling a Maintenance Terminal
The HN4000e and HN4000i switch models use different types of connectors for their mainte‐
nance terminal interfaces. HN4000e switch models use an RJ‐45 connector;
HN4000i switch models use a DB‐9 connector.
If a maintenance terminal is permanently connected to the HN4000
cable must be CAT-5 shielded cable.
Caution
Take the following steps to install a maintenance‐terminal cable.
Step 1. Measure to determine the length of cable required to run from the switch's mainte‐
nance‐terminal port to the maintenance terminal (laptop).
Step 2. Refer to the pin‐assignment section for your switch model (section 4.5.1 for
HN4000e switch models or section 4.5.2 for HN4000i switch models) and terminate
one end of the cable with an RJ‐45 or RS‐232 connector.
Step 3. Terminate the other end of the cable as required for the maintenance terminal.
Step 4. Route the cable toward the right side of the HN4000 and through a cable‐guide slot in
the right‐side mounting bracket.
Step 5. Connect the cable to the HN4000 and to the maintenance terminal.
