To connect the COM1 port to a modem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the modem to the COM1 port using the adapters and cables provided with the accessory kit, as follows: connect the DB-9 serial adapter labeled for use with the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch to the COM1 port, connect the RJ-45 to DB-25 modem adapter to the modem, then connect the adapters using the RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable (or equivalent crossover cable).

Note Use the green DB-9 adapter that is specifically labeled for use with the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch. If this adapter is not included in the accessory kit, you can request one from your customer service representative.

Step 2 If the default settings for the COM1 port have been modified, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide for information regarding verifying and resetting the default settings.
