The DGS-6600-CM front panel provides two types of UART console interface, an RS-232 connector and a USB connector. In order to use the RS-232 or USB console interface the host will need to have a terminal emulation application (e.g., Hyper Terminal, Teraterm etc.) installed. If using the USB console interface, the correct USB driver for the Switch will also need to be installed on the connected host. If using the RS-232 console connection, the host will need to have the following equipment: • A terminal or a computer with an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal. • A null modem or straight-through RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the Switch. Carry out the following to connect a terminal to the RS-232 console port: 1) Connect the female connector of the RS-232 cable directly to the console port on the Switch, and tighten the captive retaining screws. 2) Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as follows: 3) Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1, COM port 2, etc). 4) Set the baud rate to 115200 bps. 5) Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
