Serial Cable

Connect the serial COM port of your PC and the 600 Series Switch using a normal null modem cable (or a straight through cable with a null modem adapter). You will require a cable with a 9-pin or 25-pin sub-D female connector for the PC end, and a 9-pin female sub-D connector for the 608MFX end.

The following table shows the pin-out and the connections for both types of cable:
