2.6 Console Port Wiring
An RS232 console port for configuration and management of the device is
located on the LED display module shown in Figure 24. This port is intended to
be a temporary connection during initial configuration or troubleshooting and
allows for direct serial access to the management console. The connection is
made using the DB9-Female to RJ45 console cable included in the device
packaging shown in Figure 25. Console connection settings are: 57600 bps, no
parity bits, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
