console cable is provided with the switch.

Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal

emulation program to the switch. You can use the console cable provided

with this package, or use a null-modem cable that complies with the wiring

assignments shown in the Installation Guide.

To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:

1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC

running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining

screws on the DB-9 connector.
