2.6 Console Port Wiring
A RS232 console port for configuration and management of the device is located on the
LED display module shown in Figure 23. This port is intended to be a temporary
connection
during initial configuratio
n or troubleshooting and allows for direct access to
the serial-based management console. The connection is made using the DB9-Female
to RJ45 console cable included in the device packaging shown in Figure 24. Console
connection settings are:
57600 baud, no parity bits, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
