PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch. A null-modem
console cable is provided with the switch.

emulation program to the switch. You can use the console cable provided
with this package, or use a null-modem cable that complies with the wiring
assignments shown in the Installation Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC
running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining
screws on the DB-9 connector.
