Step 3 Attach the appropriate adapter, such as the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled Terminal), to a management station or modem.

Note If you are connecting the hub to a Sun workstation (or to a management station with a female DB-25 serial connector), use a male-to-male gender changer to attach the supplied RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to the management station.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the supplied rollover cable to the adapter.

Connector and cabling specifications for the console port are in the Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

Now that the hub is connected to a management station, you can assign IP information to the hub (see the “Assigning IP Information to the Hub (FastHub 400M Models)” section on page 2-16).
