The console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the MIL-S3580. Use the supplied RS-232
cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the console port.
The console configuration (out-of-band management) allows you to set your switch
to enable a user at a remote console terminal to communicate with the MIL-S3580
as if the console terminal were directly connected to it.
