Dell W-7205 Controller Installation Guide - Page 16

CAUTION: The Console port is compatible only with RS-232 devices. Non-RS-232 devices, such as APs, are not supported. CAUTION: Do not connect the Console port to an Ethernet switch or a PoE power source. This may damage the controller. ATTENTION: Le port CONSOLE est compatible uniquement avec les périphériques RS-232. Les périphériques qui ne sont pas de type RS-232, notamment les points d'accès, ne sont pas pris en charge. ATTENTION: Ne connectez pas le port Console sur un commutateur Ethernet ou une source d'alimentation PoE. Sinon, vous risquez d'endommager le contrôleur. Serial Console Port Adapter A modular adapter can be used to convert the female RJ-45 connector on the front (see Figure 5) to a male DB9 connector. See Figure 6 for details.

If both Micro-USB and RJ-45 Console ports are connected, the Micro-USB connection takes precedence over the RJ-45 Console connection. Micro-USB Driver To use the Micro-USB console port, install the Micro-USB driver on the system that will manage the controller. The driver is available for download on download.dell-pcw.com under Tools & Resources . Management Port The W-7205 controller is equipped with a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Management (RJ-45) port on the front (see Figure 4). The management port provides 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet access to the controller CLI, SNMP, and Web interface for complete system management and troubleshooting. It can also be used to connect to a separate management network. The management port has a LINK/ACT LED on its top left and SPEED LED on its top right. During operation, these LEDs provide the status information as shown in the following table: Table 11: 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) Management Port LED Function Indicator LINK/ACT Link Status Green (Solid) Green (Blinking) Off SPEED Interface Speed Green (Solid) Off Status Link established Link activity No link on port 1000 Mbps 10/100 Mbps 16 | W-7205 Controller Dell Networking W-7205 Controller | Installation Guide
