Serial management interface (Console port)

The serial management interface (port labeled Console) enables you to configure and manage the
device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a directly-connected PC,
straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) is included. The console port is located in the
upper right of the front panel.

Management port

The Management port provides connectivity to your existing management network through
10/100/1000 copper ports that uses auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed
(10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other
end of the link, and adjusts port speed accordingly. The Management port on the TurboIron 24X
supports RJ-45 copper connectors, auto MDI or MDIX detection, and has an RJ-45 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) connector.
