Chapter 1-DGS-6600 Series Switch Product Summary Module List The DGS-6600-CM Control Module is equipped with an auxiliary Gigabit Ethernet port for out-of-band management. The IP address configured on the management port can be in the same domain as the one assigned to the I/O module. UART Console Interface The DGS-6600-CM front panel provides two types of UART Console Interface, an RS-232 connector and a USB connector. These two interfaces are mutually exclusive, with the USB interface having a higher priority. If the Switch is currently being managed via the RS-232 console connection and a USB connection is established, the CLI engine will use the USB connection and automatically disconnect the user who is connected to the Switch via the RS-232 console connection. The switching between the RS-232 and USB console connection is automatically controlled by the firmware. However, this feature is disabled during system bootup. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to change the console connection interface during system bootup, as important bootup information may be missed. In order to use the USB console interface the host will need to have a terminal emulation application (e.g., Hyper Terminal, Teraterm etc.) installed and the correct USB driver for the Switch. NOTE: The terminal emulation application may need to be restarted if the USB cable is disconnected and plugged it back into the host the Switch is being accessed from.

Install a card in the compact flash slot 1 to store the system configuration, log, and runtime image files. Slot 2 is for debugging purposes (please see "Debug Information to Compact Flash" on page 601) The LED indicator will flash green when data from the compact flash card is being accessed.

Module List
DGS-6600 Configuration Guide
22
The DGS-6600-CM Control Module is equipped with an auxiliary Gigabit Ethernet port for
out-of-band management. The IP address configured on the management port can be in the same
domain as the one assigned to the I/O module.
UART Console Interface
The DGS-6600-CM front panel provides two types of UART Console Interface, an RS-232
connector and a USB connector. These two interfaces are mutually exclusive, with the USB
interface having a higher priority. If the Switch is currently being managed via the RS-232 console
connection and a USB connection is established, the CLI engine will use the USB connection and
automatically disconnect the user who is connected to the Switch via the RS-232 console
connection.
The switching between the RS-232 and USB console connection is automatically controlled by the
firmware. However, this feature is disabled during system bootup. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended not to change the console connection interface during system bootup, as important
bootup information may be missed.
In order to use the USB console interface the host will need to have a terminal emulation application
(e.g., Hyper Terminal, Teraterm etc.) installed and the correct USB driver for the Switch.

Figure 1-4 DGS-6600-CM-II
Compact Flash Slot
The DGS-6600-CM-II Control Module has two compact flash slots (CF1 and CF2). Install a card in
the compact flash slot 1 to store the system configuration, log, and runtime image files. Slot 2 is for
debugging purposes (please see
“Debug Information to Compact Flash” on page 601
)
The LED indicator will flash green when data from the compact flash card is being accessed.
Management Port
The DGS-6600-CM-II Control Module is equipped with an auxiliary Gigabit Ethernet port for
out-of-band management. The IP address configured on the management port can be in the same
domain as the one assigned to the I/O module.

connection and a USB connection is established, the CLI engine will use the USB connection and
automatically disconnect the user who is connected to the Switch via the RS-232 console
connection.
NOTE:
The terminal emulation application may need to be restarted if the USB
cable is disconnected and plugged it back into the host the Switch is being accessed
from.
