The Switch is managed through the use of a customer-supplied management
station connected to the Switch via 10BASE-T Ethernet.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the Switch Management connector and the
cable wiring. The Ethernet connection is hot-pluggable (that is, you may connect
the Ethernet cable with power applied to the Switch).
