Connecting Equipment to the Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for direct local management. The console port settings are:
●

●
Data bits—8
●
Stop bit—1
●
Parity—None
●
Flow control—XON/XOFF
The terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software that you connect to an Extreme Networks switch
must be configured with these settings. This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with
the terminal.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier, or you can make your own. To ensure the
electromagnetic compatibility of the unit, use only shielded serial cables.
