Control features
Serial management interface (console port)
The serial management interface allows you to configure and manage the device using a
third-party terminal emulation application on a directly connected PC. A straight-through EIA/TIA
DB-9 serial cable (M or F) ships with the device. The serial management interface (the console
port) is located in the left corner of the front panel.
POE applications
FWS POE devices provide Power over Ethernet (POE), compliant with the standards described in the
IEEE 802.3af specification for delivering in-line power. The 802.3af specification defines the
standard for delivering power over existing network cabling infrastructure, offering
multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services, such as
Voice over IP (VoIP), WLAN access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IP technology devices.
POE technology eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and dedicated UPS near IP powered
devices. With power sourcing devices, such as the Brocade FWS624-POE and FWS648-POE, power
is consolidated and centralized in the wiring closets, improving the reliability and resiliency of the
network. Because POE can provide power over Ethernet cable, power is continuous, even in the
event of a power failure.
For more information about POE and how to configure it on FWS devices, refer to the
