RJ-45 to DB-9 Serial Port Adapter Pinout Information for a Switch
The console port is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect
to a management device such as a PC or a laptop. If your laptop or PC does not have a
DB-9 male connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or PC to the switch, use
a combination of the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch along with
a USB to DB-9 male adapter.
Table 15 on page 25 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port
adapter.

Management Port Connector Pinout Information for an EX2200 Switch
The management port on an EX2200 switch uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a
management device for out-of-band management.
The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support a 10/100Base-T connection.
Two LEDs on the port indicate link/activity on the port and the administrative status of
the port. See “Management Port LEDs in EX2200 Switches” on page 17.
Table 16 on page 26 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 connector for the
management port. An RJ-45 cable, with a connector attached, is supplied with the switch.
