The management ports are on the I/O-side of the switch.
1. Out-of-band management port (top); RJ45 console port (bottom).
NOTE:
When connecting the RJ45 console to the patch panel or terminal server using Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, the
maximum cable length is 100m. However, if the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the patch panel or terminal server but
connected to the RJ45 console, the maximum cable length is 6m. If the cable is longer than 6m when disconnected from
the panel or server, your switch may not boot.
NOTE:
Ensure that any equipment that is attached to the serial port can support the required 115200 baud rate.
NOTE:
If the serial port on your computer cannot accept a female DB-9 connector, use a DB-9 to USB adapter.
1. Install the provided RJ45 connector-side of the provided cable into the switch console port.
2. Install the DB-9 female-side of the provided copper cable into the serial port on your computer.
Or install the DB-9 cable into other data terminal equipment (DTE) server hardware.
3. Use the following settings to make the serial port connection:
●
115200 baud rate
●
No parity
●
Eight data bits
●
One stop bit
●
No flow control
