The console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector. Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45 cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch. Figure 63 on page 136 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.

You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter. 136
