Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Management Console
You can configure and manage a J-EX Series switch using a dedicated console. Every
J-EX Series switch has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to
connect the J-EX Series switch to the management console or to a console server. The
console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45
cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch.
Figure 67 on page 135 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the
switch.

want to connect your laptop or PC directly to a J-EX Series switch, use a
combination of the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch
and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male
adapter.
