5.2.2 Connect a Console Maintenance Terminal to the Switch

The HN4000e and HN4000i switch models use different types of connectors for their maintenance

HN4000i switch models use a DB-9 connector.
Step 1. Connect the maintenance terminal's serial cable to the HN4000 switch's RJ‐45 Console
port (HN4000e switch model) or DB‐9 Craft port (HN4000i switch model).
