When you want to use the terminal to configure the switch, follow these steps to connect a terminal device to your switch using console cables:

1Plug the DB-9 female connector of the Console cable to the serial port of the PC or terminal where the switch is to be configured.

2Connect the RJ-45 connector of the Console cable to the Console port of the switch.

CAUTION: Pay attention to the mark on the Console port and be sure to plug the connector to the right port.

If the switch has been powered on:

First connect the DB-9 connector of the Console cable to the PC before connecting the RJ-45 connector to the switch.

Disconnect the DB-9 connector of the Console cable from the PC after disconnecting the RJ-45 connector from the switch.
