Chapter 1 Product Overview Rear Panel Description Management Ports Ethernet Management Port You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 10/100 Ethernet management port or one of the console ports (see Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7). The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port uses a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable. Table 1-19 shows the Ethernet management port LED colors and their meanings. Table 1-19 RJ-45 Console Port LED Color Green Off Amber Description Active link to PC Inactive link POST failure USB Mini-Type B Port The switch provides a USB mini-Type B console connection on the front panel, and the RJ-45 console port on the switch rear panel. Console output is always active on both connectors, but console input is active on only one connector at a time, with the USB connector taking precedence over the RJ-45 connector. Use a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable to connect a PC or other device to the switch. The required USB cable is included in the optional accessory kit, (part number 800-33434). The connected device must include a terminal emulation application. Windows PCs need a driver for the USB port. See the "Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver" section on page C-3 for installation instructions. When the switch detects a valid USB connection to a powered device, input from the Ethernet connection is immediately disabled, and input from the USB console is enabled. Removing the USB connection immediately reenables input from the Ethernet connection. An LED on the switch front panel (see Figure 1-3) is green when the USB console connection is enabled. The switch provides a configurable inactivity timeout that reactivates the RJ-45 console if no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time period. After the USB console has been deactivated due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. You can disable USB console operation by using Cisco IOS commands. See the switch software configuration guide for details.
