1. Out-of-band management port (right), RJ45 console port (left) N3248P-ON/E3248P-ON, N3248PXE-ON/E3248PXE-ON, N3248TE-ON, and N3248X-ON management ports 1. Out-of-band management port (right), RJ45 console port (left) NOTE: Ensure that any equipment that is attached to the serial port can support the required 115200-baud rate. NOTE: If the serial port of your system cannot accept a female DB-9 connector, use a DB-9 to USB adapter. NOTE: When connecting the RJ45 console to the patch panel or terminal server using Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, the maximum cable length is 100 m. However, if the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the patch panel or terminal server but connected to the RJ45 console, the maximum cable length is 6 m. If the cable is longer than 6 m when disconnected from the panel or server, your switch may not boot. 1. Install the provided RJ45 connector-side of the provided cable into the switch console port. 2. Install the DB-9 female-side of the provided copper cable into the serial port of your system. Alternately, install the DB-9 cable into other data terminal equipment (DTE) server hardware. 3. Use the following settings to make the serial port connection: ● 115200-baud rate ● No parity ● Eight data bits ● One stop bit ● No flow control MicroUSB Type-B console port access The MicroUSB Type-B console port is on the I/O side of the switch. NOTE: The N3200-ON/E3200-ON Series switches use the Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-B chip. To find the correct USBB universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) driver, see https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/ software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers. When you connect the microUSB Type-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the microUSB Type-B port. 72 Management ports

NOTE:
Ensure that any equipment that is attached to the serial port can support the required 115200-baud rate.
NOTE:
If the serial port of your system cannot accept a female DB-9 connector, use a DB-9 to USB adapter.
NOTE:
When connecting the RJ45 console to the patch panel or terminal server using Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, the
maximum cable length is 100 m. However, if the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the patch panel or terminal server but
connected to the RJ45 console, the maximum cable length is 6 m. If the cable is longer than 6 m when disconnected from
the panel or server, your switch may not boot.
1.
Install the provided RJ45 connector-side of the provided cable into the switch console port.
2.
Install the DB-9 female-side of the provided copper cable into the serial port of your system.
Alternately, install the DB-9 cable into other data terminal equipment (DTE) server hardware.
3.
Use the following settings to make the serial port connection:
115200-baud rate
No parity
Eight data bits
One stop bit
No flow control
MicroUSB Type-B console port access
The MicroUSB Type-B console port is on the I/O side of the switch.
NOTE:
The N3200-ON/E3200-ON Series switches use the Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-B chip. To find the correct USB-
B universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) driver, see
software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
.
When you connect the microUSB Type-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent
to the microUSB Type-B port.
