damaged.

Attaching the Console Management Cables

The IA 1100/1200 has two ports for attaching management consoles to the IA 1100/1200.
• A male DB-9 DCE port for direct serial connection from a terminal. Use this port to
perform basic setup, including setting up the IA 1100/1200 for management through
the network using SNMP.
• An RJ-45 10/100Base-T DTE port for Telnet connection from a host on the network. The
port is configured for Media Data Interface (MDI). You use this port to manage the
IA 1100/1200 using SNMP.
Cabletron provides the cable for direct serial connection. Appendix C, "Hardware
Specifications" on page 55 includes the connector pin assignments for these two cables.

Connecting to the Serial Port

To attach the supplied console cable to the IA 1100/1200's DB-9 port (marked
"CONSOLE" on the IA 1100/1200's chassis):
