Switch Module Console Port

You can connect the switch module through its console port to a PC by using the RJ-45-to-DB9 female cable that ships with the product. If you need a spare cable, you can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) directly from Cisco. If you want to attach the switch module to any other device, such as a terminal server, you might need a different cable. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Connector and Cable Specifications” section on page B-1.
