Connecting to the Console Port
TheRS‐232consoleportusesastandard8‐pinRJ45connector.AnRJ45toDB9adapterisprovided
withtheswitch,butyoumustprovideyourownRJ45toRJ45straight‐throughconsolecable.
RefertoTable 2‐2forconsoleportpinoutassignments.
RefertoTable 2‐3onpage 2‐28
forRJ45toDB9adapterpinoutassignments.
Toconnecttotheconsoleport:
1. ConnecttheRJ45connectoratoneendofthecabletotheRJ45consoleportontheD2switch.
2. PlugtheRJ45connectorattheotherendofthecableintotheRJ45toDB9adapter.
3. ConnecttheRJ45to
DB9adaptertotheserialportonaterminaloraPCrunningterminal
emulationsoftware.
4. Makesuretheterminalemulationsoftwareissetasfollows:
–Selecttheappropriateserialport(COMport1or2).
–Setthedatarateto9600baud.
–Setthedataformatto8databits,1
stopbit,andnoparity.
–Setflowcontroltonone.
–SettheemulationmodetoVT100.
–WhenusingHyperTerminal,selectTerminalkeys,notWindowskeys.
