4.6 Console Port Wiring

A RS232 console port for configuration and management of the device is located on the LED display module shown in Figure 20. This port is intended to be a temporary connection during initial configuration or troubleshooting and allows for direct access to the serial-based management console. The connection is made using the DB9-Female to RJ45 console cable included in the device packaging shown in Figure 21. Console connection settings are: 57600 baud, no parity bits, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
