Connecting to the CONSOLE Port
The RJ-45 serial CONSOLE port on the switch front panel is used to connect to the switch
for out-of-band console configuration. The command line interface can be accessed from a
terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The CONSOLE port is one of two
types of OOB management scenarios. Use the provided Cisco Blue RJ-45 to DB9 cable.

Connecting to a Management Port
Use any
RJ-45 PoE++
port on the switch front panel to connect the switch to a PC for web management. The
management port lets you access, configure, and manage the switch via any current web browser.
Connect the
management
port of the switch to the RJ45 port of the PC with an Ethernet cable (Cat 5 or better). A dedicated
management port is one of two types of OOB management scenarios.
Installing SFP+ Modules
Note
: see the related SFP device manual for important Safety warnings. See the Lantronix
our line of copper SFP transceivers. See the
for additional information. The Fiber Optic
Association, Inc.is an international non-profit educational association chartered to promote professionalism in fiber
optics through education, certification and standards.
Note
: The SFP+ ports should use UL Listed Optional
Transceiver products, Rated 3.3Vdc, Laser Class 1.
Before you begin installing SFP+ modules, observe these guidelines:
•
Do not remove the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to
connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal circuit board and component
handling procedures when connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
Caution
: Removing and installing an SFP+ module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any SFP
module more often than is absolutely necessary.
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC SFP+ module from an SFP+ port without having to power off the switch.
1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP+ port.
2. Press firmly to ensure that the module seats into the connector.
