RJ-45 Serial Console Port
The RJ-45 port on the front management panel is available for switch console

console cable kit is included with the switch.
To connect a computer or terminal to the switch using the included kit, first connect
one end of the Category 5 patch cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the G7052, then
connect the other end of the patch cable to the RJ-45-to-DB9 adapter (see the
following illustration).
