To connect the SmartSwitch device to a PC or compatible device running the VT terminal emulation, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable (supplied in the kit) to the COM port on the SmartSwitch device.

2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the RJ45-to-DB9 adapter (supplied in the kit).

3.Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 adapter to the communications port on the PC.

NOTE: If using a modem between the VT compatible device and the COM port of the SmartSwitch device, use the appropriate connector included in the console cable kit. Refer to the modem manufacturer’s information for proper operation and setup of the modem.
