RS-232 console
To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to the serial (console) port of the GE-DS-82
Managed Switch. The console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already,
so that you can connect the console port directly through PC without the
need of Null Modem.
