	Console Port
	The Console port is where you connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for configuration
	using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to ”Configuring the HyperTerminal
	Application,” on page 14 for more information.

		NOTE: Many modern laptop computers
		are not supplied with serial ports. You
		may use a USB-to-Serial adapter on
		your laptop to connect to the console
		serial port.

	RPS Port
	An optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is connected to the RPS port. An RPS enhances
	the reliability of the Ethernet switch and it can keep the unit running if a power failure
	occurs. Only use a Linksys RPS1000 Redundant Power Supply unit and a proper RPS cable
	(RPSCBL1) with the Ethernet switch.

		WARNING: Do not remove the cover
		from the RPS port unless an RPS unit is
		connected to the Ethernet switch. Keep
		the RPS port covered when not in use.
