3.3.2 Connecting the Console Cable

Follow these steps to connect a terminal device, a PC for example, to the switch:
Step 1: Plug the DB-9 (female) connector of the Console cable to the serial port of the
PC where the switch is to be configured.
Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the Console port of the
switch.
Caution:
Read the mark for the port to be connected carefully to make sure it is the right port.
Note:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. Therefore, do not insert or
remove a serial interface cable from a PC that is connected to a switch with power. In
connecting a PC to the switch, first connect the DB-9 connector of the console cable to
the PC and then the RJ-45 connector to the switch. In disconnecting them, remove the
RJ-45 connector prior to the DB-9 connector.

3.4 Verifying Installation

The correct power source is used.
The ground wire is securely connected.
Both of the console cable and power cord are correctly connected.
All the interface cables are routed indoors. If there are cables outdoors, check that
the socket strip with lightning protection and lightning arresters for network ports
have been correctly connected.
