Connect equipment to the Connect EZ serial port
After your device is connected and powered up, you can connect equipment to the device using the
serial ports.
The serial port on the Connect EZ provides console access to connected critical equipment through a
connected Ethernet LAN. Connect your network device to the Connect EZ serial port. For pinout
information, see
Serial connector pinout: Connect EZ Mini
You must use a cable with a DB9 connector to connect to the Connect EZ with a DB9 connector.
Consult the user guide for the device you are connecting to the Connect EZ to determine the
connector type, cable type, and pinout positions for your specific device.
The serial port is enabled by default. The network devices connected to the serial port may be
accessed using RealPort, Digi Remote Manager, the local web user interface, TCP, telnet, or SSH
connections. TCP, telnet and SSH connections to serial ports are disabled by default and must be
enabled by a device-specific configuration.
