Connecting the Console
The RS232C console port permits you to connect a terminal or local
workstation for system management. The console terminal interface
is a DB9 (DCE) male connection.
Note
The console is required to confirm that the switch is configured and
operating correctly after installation.
Connect a VT-100 terminal or equivalent to the FORMULA 8200 using
a 9-pin null-modem RS232 serial cable. You can also use a DOS®,
Windows®, or UNIX® workstation running in terminal emulation
mode. The cable connection to the switch must have a female DB9
connector.
