This port is used to connect a console device to the switch through a nullmodem serial
cable. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator,
or a VT-100 terminal. An RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to a
PC’s RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE port. The pin assignments used in the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable
are described below.
