into the Switch, and the other end into the local power source outlet.

Management Options
The Switch can be managed with Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP protocol and Web
User Interface.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port or the MGMT port on
the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band, by
using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the Switch. The command line
interface provides complete access to all switch management features.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch
supports SNMP v1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
Most of the features available through the CLI can be accessed through the Web UI. This
management interface is a more graphical representation of the features that can be
viewed and configured on this Switch.
Connecting to the Console Port
The front panel of the Switch provides an RJ-45 console port to connect a remote system
for monitoring and configuring the Switch.
To use the RJ-45 console port, the following equipment is needed:
•
A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation
software
•
A console cable with a male DB9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection
on the other
To connect the RJ-45 console port on the Switch to the computer:
•
Connect the male DB9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to
the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software then
insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch.
To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
•
Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).
