Connections and Cabling
Once your switch is properly installed, you should connect all network and management cables required for
your network applications. Connections may include:
• Micro USB-to-USB cable to the console connector
• Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Management Port (EMP) (Enhanced models only)
• Cables to NIs or transceivers
Note. For additional information on cabling for console, EMP, USB, Bluetooth and other connections,
refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide.
Serial Connection to the Console Port
The console port provides a serial connection to the switch using a USB connector and is required when
logging into the switch for the first time. By default, this connector provides a DCE console connection.
Serial Connection Default Settings
For information on modifying these settings, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch
Management Guide.
Ethernet Management Port (EMP) Cable Requirements
Enhanced OS6860 models (OS6860E) provide an Ethernet Management Port (EMP) on the rear panel of the
chassis for out-of-band management. There are specific cable type requirements (i.e., straight-through or
crossover) based on the device to which the EMP is connecting. Refer to the information below:
For information on manually configuring Ethernet ports, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network
