16 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE SWITCH 3300 Console Port The console port allows you to connect a terminal and perform remote or local out-of-band management. The console port uses standard null modem cable and is set to auto-baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. Expansion Module Slot You can use this slot to install an Expansion Module; for example, a 100BASE-FX Module that provides an additional high-speed link, or a Matrix Module that provides four matrix ports for stacking Switch units together. 3Com provides a range of Expansion Modules; contact your supplier for availability. For more information about Matrix Modules, see "Stacking Units" on page 26. When an Expansion Module is not installed, ensure the blanking plate is secured in place.
