4.2.3 Console and Auxiliary Ports
There are two DB-9 ports on the faceplate of the DMM. The upper port is called
the
console
port and is used for attaching a terminal locally (or via a modem) to
the DMM. This terminal is used to provide out-of-band management capability
for the 8260. See Table 6 for pinout of the cable used for attaching terminals to
this port.
