SERIAL INTERFACE
The 7014 Series switches provide an EIA-232 interface accessed via a 9 pin female connector (labeled
„COM‟ on the unit). This is used to access the Command Line Interpreter (CLI). The pin-outs are shown
below:
Serial Cable
Connect the serial COM port of your PC and the 7014 Series Switch using a standard straight through cable.
You will require a cable with a 9-pin or 25-pin sub-D female connector for the PC end, and a 9-pin male
sub-D connector for the 7014 Series end.
The following table shows the pin-out and the connections for both types of cable:
