The micro‐USB serial console port on the front management panel is available for
switch console management. The port operates using RS‐232 serial
communications. A compatible console cable kit is included with the switch.
To connect a computer or terminal to the switch using the included kit, first connect
the console cable to the micro‐USB serial console port on the front panel. Connect
one end of the RJ45‐to‐DB9 adapter to the RJ45 port on the console cable and the
other end of the adapter to the computer or terminal (see the following illustration).
