Serial port specifications
The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The DS-5300B
uses an RJ-45 connector for serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor cable
is also provided with the switch.
Note: To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port
when not in use.
The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure
the switch IP address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP
network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
Table 10 lists the serial cable pinouts.
