LAN devices. The ports are auto-sensing MDI/X and either straight-through cable
or crossover cable can be used.

a female RS-232 connector to connect to the serial port on a PC. The PC must be
equipped with a VT-100 emulation program, such as HyperTerminal 5 or Telix. The
Console session parameters are Baud rate 115200 bps; Data bits 8; Parity none
