3.4.2 Connecting Console Cable

Follow these steps to connect a terminal device, a PC for example, to the switch:
Step 1: Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the
PC or the terminal device used to configure the switch.
Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the
switch.
Caution:
Identify the label of the port before connecting a connector.
Note:
When connecting a PC to a powered-on switch, you are recommended to connect the
DB-9 connector of the console cable to the PC before connecting the RJ-45 connector
to the switch. When disconnecting a PC from a powered-on switch, you are
recommended to disconnect the DB-9 connector of the console cable from the PC after
disconnecting the RJ-45 connector from the switch.
