•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1

The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC.
Connecting to the management port
The Gigabit Ethernet management port (RJ-45) on the Ruckus ICX 7450 front panel provides an out-of-band network connection to the
device. After you assign an IP address, you can access the Ruckus ICX 7450 from anywhere in the attached network using Telnet, a web
browser, or other network management tools, such as Ruckus Network Advisor. To prevent unauthorized access, Ruckus recommends
that the management port only be connected to a secure private network.
To manage the Ruckus ICX 7450 through its management port, connect the port to the management Ethernet network using Category 5
or better cable.
Management of the Ruckus ICX 7450 is described in detail in the
Ruckus FastIron Management Configuration Guide

Installing an SFP or SFP+ transceiver
Before removing a fiber-optic transceiver, have the following items available:
•
The protective covering that you removed from the fiber-optic transceiver port when you initially installed the module
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the switch
To monitor the transceivers, the
show media
command output shows the transceiver information for all transceiver interfaces on the
switch. Ruckus provides support for third-party transceivers, but may require a Ruckus transceiver be used for troubleshooting.
Support will not be provided if there is an issue with a third-party transceiver.
DANGER
Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
