An RJ-45 cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you
want to connect your laptop or PC directly to a J-EX Series switch, use a
combination of the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch
and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male

Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Management Console on page 135
The management port on a J-EX8200 switch uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a
management device for out-of-band management.
The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support a 10/100/1000Base-T
connection. Two LEDs on the port indicate link/activity on the port and the administrative
status of the port. See "Management Port LEDs in J-EX8200 Switches" on page 25.
Table 24 on page 45 provides the pinout information of the RJ-45 connector. An RJ-45
cable, with a connector attached, is supplied with the switch.
