Console Port - Allied Telesis AlliedWare Plus GS980MX Series Installation Manual

Console Port

The Console port is an RS232 serial management port. You use the port
to access the AlliedWare Plus management software on the switch to
configure the feature settings or monitor status or statistics. This type of
management is commonly referred to as local management because you
have to be at the physical location of the switch and use the management
cable included with the unit. The switch does not have to have an IP
address for local management.
To establish a local management session with the switch, use the provided
management cable to connect a terminal or a personal computer with a
terminal emulation program to the Console port, which has an RJ-45 style
(8P8C) connector. The cable has RJ-45 style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-
pin) connectors.
The Console port has the following settings:
Default baud rate: 9,600 bps (range is 9,600 to 115,200 bps)
