Rear Panel
The console port and a three-pronged AC power plug are located on the rear panel of
the switch. The 1008 switches work in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. The console
port can be used to perform management functions. Console connection requires a
direct connection between the switch and a workstation with a RS-232 cable.
Hardware Ports
