Console Port
The Console port is used to conduct management sessions with the
switch to configure its features and parameter settings. This type of
management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or
out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network.
To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch
and must use the management cable included with the switch.
To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a
terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the
Console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector, using the
provided management cable. The cable has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and
DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.
The Console port is set to the following specifications:
 Default baud rate: 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: None
Note
These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulation program.
