:
When configuring a stack, connect to the console port on the Master
unit.
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.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
switch.
