A RJ45 to DB-9 cross-adaptor for RS-232 console connection (CLI). (The DB-9 adaptor 
has a number 26 printed on it. This means that pins 2 and 6 are crossed). 

 

A RJ45 to DB-9 adaptor for RS-232 console connection 

 

IMPORTANT:

 Both serial and Ethernet management ports of a 4036/2036 switch can

1.

 

Connect the DB-9 connector and the RJ45 connector to each extremity of the multipurpose 
console cable (Mng). 

2.

 

Connect the DB-9 connector to the 4036/2036 switch CLI port. 

3.

 

Connect the RJ45 connector to the Ethernet port either on the rear panel or on the front 
panel (but not to both).
