Connecting to the Console Port for Local Management
This section describes how to install an RS232 DTE interface cable to a PC, a VT series terminal, or
a modem to the 800-Series for out-of-band sessions using CLI commands.
What Is Needed
An optional console cable (08A-CON-CBL) is required if you want to locally manage the switch
via the front panel RJ45 console port. The cable is terminated by an RJ45 connector at one end and
by a DB9 female connector at the other end.
Using an RJ45-to-DB9 female cable, you can connect products equipped with a RJ45 console port
to an IBM or compatible PC running a VT series emulation software package.
