Console Cable
The iRBX6GF can be managed via the console port (a RS-232 Serial interface) by a RS-232 cable supplied
with the switch. Connect the port to a PC using the RS-232 cable with an RJ-45 connector to a DB-9 female
connector. The DB-9 female connector of the RS-232 cable should be connected to the PC, while the other
end of the cable (with the RJ-45 connector) should be connected to the console port of the switch
(Standard Cisco Serial Cable supplied with iRBX6GF).
