The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP in use. The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, or 4 Gb/sec, and are able to autosense to the highest speed capable for all attached devices. Serial port specifications The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. It is a three-wire RS-232 port with a DB-9 male connector, designed to connect to a DTE port. Note: To provide dust and ESD protection, keep the safety plug on the serial port whenever the port is not in use. You can use the serial port to connect to a computer workstation to configure the switch IP address without connecting to the fabric. The serial port's parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2005 37

Channel
ports
in
the
SAN16B-2
are
compatible
with
SWL
and
LWL
SFPs.
The
strength
of
the
signal
is
determined
by
the
type
of
SFP
in
use.
The

Serial
port
specifications
The
serial
port
is
located
on
the
port
side
of
the
switch.
It
is
a
three-wire
RS–232
port
with
a
DB–9
male
connector,
designed
to
connect
to
a

Note:
To
provide
dust
and
ESD
protection,
keep
the
safety
plug
on
the
serial
port
whenever
