Console/Comm Port
The serial console interface is an RS-232 port that enables a connection to a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring a standalone switch or a stack
configuration.You can also connect this port to an external modem to enable remote
dial-in management of the switch. The port is a male DB-9 connector, implemented
as a data communication equipment (DCE) connection.
To use the Console/Comm port, you need the following equipment:
• A terminal or TTY-compatible terminal, or a portable computer with a serial
port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
The terminal should have the following settings:
-- 9600 baud
-- No parity
-- 8 bits
-- 1 stop bit
-- Window Terminal Emulator option set to NO
-- Terminal Preferences: Function, Arrow, and Control keys active
-- Buffer size set to 24
• A UL-listed straight-through RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for
the console port on the switch.
The other end of the cable must have a connector appropriate to the serial port
on your computer or terminal. (Most terminals or computers use a male DB-25
connector.)
Any cable connected to the console port must be shielded to comply with
emissions regulations and requirements.
See “DB-9 (RS-232-D) Console/Comm Port Connector” on page D-1 for a
description of the pin assignments.
