Console Port
The Console port is where you connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for configuration
using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to
”Configuring the HyperTerminal
for more information.
RPS Port
An optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is connected to the RPS port. An RPS enhances
the reliability of the Ethernet switch and it can keep the unit running if a power failure
occurs. Only use a Linksys RPS1000 Redundant Power Supply unit and a proper RPS cable
(RPSCBL1) with the Ethernet switch.
NOTE:
Many modern laptop computers
are not supplied with serial ports. You
may use a USB-to-Serial adapter on
your laptop to connect to the console
serial port.
WARNING:
Do not remove the cover
from the RPS port unless an RPS unit is
connected to the Ethernet switch. Keep
the RPS port covered when not in use.
