Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter
You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal
server (for example, a PC).
The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows:

Micro USB-B console port access
The Micro USB type B console port is on the I/O side of the switch.
NOTE:
The S6100-ON switch uses the Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-B chip. To find the correct USB-B universal
asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) driver, see
usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers.
When you connect the micro USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the
micro USB-B port.
1. Power on the PC.
2. Connect the USB-A end of cable into an available USB port on the PC.
3. Connect the micro USB-B end of cable into the micro USB-B console port on the S6100-ON.
4. Power on the S6100-ON.
5. Install the necessary USB device drivers.
6. Open your terminal software emulation program to access the S6100-ON.
7. Confirm that the terminal settings on your terminal software emulation program are as follows:
● 115200 baud rate
● No parity
● 8 data bits
● 1 stop bit
● No flow control
USB storage
The USB storage supports the FAT file system. The USB storage does not automatically mount. To use USB storage, first mount
the device.
1. Create a mount directory for the USB.
ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/usb
2. View the fixed disks using the fdisk command.
