Serial port specifications
The serial port is located on the port-side of the switch and uses an RJ-45 connector for the serial port.
An RJ-45 to DB9 adapter cable is supplied with the switch.
NOTE:
To prevent damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
Before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network, you must connect to a workstation through the
serial port and configure the switch IP address. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8
data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
