Connecting the Console Cable

Connecting the Console Cable
Follow these steps to connect a terminal device, a PC for example, to the switch:
Step 1: Plug the DB-9 (female) connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC where the
switch is to be configured.
Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the switch.
Read the mark for the port to be connected carefully to make sure it is the right port.
In case the switch is powered on, when connecting a PC to the switch, first connect the DB-9 connector
of the console cable to the PC and then the RJ-45 connector to the switch; when disconnecting them,
remove the RJ-45 connector prior to the DB-9 connector.
