Console Port

46
The Console port is used to conduct management sessions with the
switch to configure its features and parameter settings. This type of
management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or
out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network.
To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch
and must use the management cable included with the switch.
To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a
terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the
Console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector, using the
provided management cable. The cable has RJ-45 style (8P8C) and DB-9
(D-sub 9-pin) connectors.
The Console port is set to the following specifications:
