The HN4000e and HN4000i switch models use different types of connectors for their maintenance

terminal interfaces. HN4000e switch models use an RJ-45 connector;

HN4000i switch models use a DB-9 connector.

Note

CLI passwords are case sensitive and password characters are not echoed to the

terminal.
