NOTE:: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.

Connecting to the Switch

The console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the MIL-S3580. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the console port.

The console configuration (out-of-band management) allows you to set your switch to enable a user at a remote console terminal to communicate with the MIL-S3580 as if the console terminal were directly connected to it.
