Ensure you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45 cable
and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch.
Figure 49 on page 88 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with
the switch.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you want
to connect your laptop or PC directly to an EX-series switch, use a combination of
the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch and a USB to DB-9 male
adapter.
To connect an EX-series switch to a management console (see Figure 50 on page
87 and Figure 51 on page 87):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port (labelled CON) on
the rear panel of the EX-series switch.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the management console.
