Connecting to the Console Port
The device provides an RS-232 serial port that enables connecting to a computer or terminal for monitoring and configuring
the switch. The RS-232 serial port is a female DB-9 connector; implemented as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
connection. To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:
• A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
• A null modem or crossover RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch.
To connect a terminal to the console port:
1. Connect the female connector of the RS-232 cable directly to the console port.
2. Tighten the captive retaining screws.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal
emulation software.
Set the terminal emulation software as follows:
1. Select either serial port:
- COM port 1
- COM port 2
2. Set the Baud Rate to 9600.
3. Set the data format to 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and No Parity.
4. Set flow control to None.
5. Select Properties > VT100 for Emulation Mode.
6. Select Terminal Keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that Terminal Keys is selected and not Windows
Keys.
