Connecting the Console Terminal to Magnum 10KG
Use a (RJ45) “null modem” cable
to connect the Magnum 10KG
Console Port (the RJ45 Console
port on the 10KG Switch) to your
PC, so that your PC becomes the
10KG Console Terminal.
Note:
The RJ45 null modem
cable is not included with the
10KG package, but two models
are available for purchase. Model
CONSOLE-CBLQD has a DB-9
on the PC end, while Model
CONSOLE-USB has a USB
connector on the computer end.
Note: For a detailed description of Managed Network Software (MNS-6K) and
Magnum 10KG Switch software configuration for Network Management, please refer
to Magnum 6K Software Manual available on GarrettCom‘s FTP site.
