NOTE: If your laptop or desktop PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to
connect your laptop or desktop PC directly to the device, use a combination of the RJ-45 to
DB-9 socket adapter supplied with the device and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide
the USB to DB-9 plug adapter.
You can configure and manage devices using a dedicated management channel. Each device has a
console port which you can connect to using an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector. Use the
console port to connect the device to the console server or management console. The console port
accepts a cable that has an RJ-45 connector.
To connect the device to a management console (see Figure 35 on page 93 and Figure 36 on page
93 ):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port (labeled CON, CONSOLE, or CON1) on
the device.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the console server (see Figure 35 on page 93 ) or
management console (see Figure 36 on page 93 ).
