Console Port Connector Pinout Information for an EX Series Switch
The console port on an EX Series switch is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an
RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate
for the console port is 9600 baud.
Table 12 on page 28 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector.
An RJ-45 cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are 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. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.
