Serial Cable Connection

You can use serial cables (null-modem) to connect the switch to a terminal for initial setup and
configuration (You can also use a PC running terminal emulation software.). The switch's serial
cable is female to female DB-9 crossover cable (see Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3 shows the serial cable and Table 3-3 shows the serial connector pin assignments.
