Out-of-Band Management Port and Cable Pin-Outs

The switch’s Out-of-Band Management (OBM) port (labelled MANAGEMENT on the front panel) is an TIA/EIA-232 port wired as a DTE. For this reason, you cannot use a straight-through modem cable to directly connect a terminal to the MANAGEMENT port.

For a terminal connection, you can use either a null-modem cable or a modem cable with a null-modem adapter attached. For a modem connection, you can use a standard modem cable.

This section provides pin-out information for the cables you can use to connect to the MANAGEMENT port.
