Console Port
The console port is a DB9, RS-232 male serial port connector. It is an interface for
connecting a terminal directly. The console port provides rich diagnostic information
including IP Address setting, factory reset, port management, link status and system
settings. Users can use the attached RS-232 cable in the package and connect to the
console port on the device. After the connection, users can run any terminal
emulation program (Hyper Terminal, ProComm Plus, Telix, Winterm and so on) to
enter the startup screen of the device.
POWER NOTICE:
1. The Managed Switch is a power-required device: it will not work unless it is
receiving power. If your networks must be active at all times, we recommend that
the Switch be connected to a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) to prevent data
loss or downtime.
2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help protect your
Managed Switch from being damaged by unregulated power surges or current to
either the Switch or the power adapter.
