Take the following steps to connect the console cable, when configuring
the switch on the terminal.

of the switch.

Connect the console cable
Note:
The PC serial port is not hot-swappable, so you are not allowed to insert or
remove the console cable into or from the PC serial port.
When connecting the console cable, first connect the DB9 end to the PC
serial port and then the RJ45 end to the console port of the switch. And
removing the console cable is just in inverse order.
When removing the console cable, first remove the RJ-45 end and then the
DB9 end.
