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 the 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.
You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.
NOTE: Most modems have an RS-232 DB-25 connector. You must separately purchase
an adapter to connect your modem to the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter and Ethernet cable
supplied with the switch.
To connect a modem to the console port:
1. Turn off power to the switch.
2. Turn off power to the modem.
3.
Connect one end of the cable to the console port (labeled CON or CONSOLE) on
the switch.

4. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter
supplied with your switch.
5. Connect the serial port adapter to the DB-9 female to DB-25 male adapter or
other adapter appropriate for your modem.
