Note:
Because the console port of S2518PB bears no flow control, you need to set data
flow control to none when using a superior terminal to manage S2518PB
configurations, or the single-pass problem will arise from the superior terminal.
The cable is used to connect the console port of the S2518PB switch and the
outside console terminal device. One end of the cable is a 8-pin RJ45 plug and the
other end is a 25-hole plug (DB25) and a 9-hole plug (DB9). The RJ45 plug is put
into the socket of the console port on the S2518PB switch. DB25 or DB9 is applied
according to the requirement of the terminal serial port. The inner line connection
in the cable is shown in Figure 3-5.
