Connect a Device to a Management Console Using an RJ-45 Connector

You can configure and manage devices using a dedicated management channel. Each device has a console
port which you can connect to using an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to
connect the device to the console server or management console. The console port accepts a cable that
has an RJ-45 connector.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end. One such cable and an
RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the device.
Figure 58 on page 183 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable.

the USB to DB-9 plug adapter.
