Serial Console Port
The serial console port is located on the front panel of the WFS709TP. This port is for connecting
a local management console and can be used to access the text-based command-line interface
(CLI) to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the switch.
Port and Adapter Pinouts
The serial console port’s RJ-45 female connector accepts an RS-232 serial cable with a male
connector. Pinouts are shown in Figure A-2:
Warning: Do not connect access points to the serial console port. The serial port is
designed to connect to RS-232-only devices. Non-RS-232 devices such as
APs will cause the WFS709TP to fail and can cause damage.
