Connecting to the Switch
The Console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables connection of a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable
to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port.
The Console configuration (out of band) allows you to set your Switch to enable a
user at a remote console terminal to communicate with the Switch as if the remote
terminal were directly connected to it.
