To connect to the management port, use Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Make sure the twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. This
port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through cables to
connect to any other network device.
Follow these steps to connect to the Management port:
Connecting to the Console Port
The RJ-45 Console port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console
configuration. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100
terminal. An RJ-45-to- DB-9 cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to a PC’s RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE
(COM) port.

Instructions for Connecting to the Management Port
Step Action
1 Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to an RJ-45 connector on a management network device
(PC or another switch).
2 Attach the other end of the twisted-pair cable to the Management port on the switch.
3 As the connection is made, the Mgmt port LEDs (on the switch) will turn on to indicate that the
connection is valid.
To connect to notebooks or other PCs that do not have a DB-9 COM port, use a USB to
male DB-9 adapter cable (not included with the switch).
