ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 100

Console Port

Both TigerSwitch 100 units contain a Console port on the front panel. This is an RS-232 serial port with a DB-9 connector. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and monitoring purposes out-of band via a full-handshaking null modem cable. (See Appendix B)

Configure Button

The Configure button is located on the left-front panel of the TigerSwitch 100 and is used in conjunction with the LEDs to display a wide range of performance and status data for every port. The Configure button can also be used to manually set port communication modes and initiate diagnostic tests.
