Step Task
Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the S50V system into the
1
console port.
CAUTION: You must install a straight-through RJ-45 copper cable
(a standard Ethernet cable) into the console port. This is different from
many other implementations that require an Ethernet crossover cable (or
rollover cable). If connecting to a terminal server and using a crossover
cable, daisychain another crossover cable to effectively get a straight-
through cable connection. Many console terminal servers use octopus
cables that are crossover cables. To accommodate the octopus cable,
connect an additional crossover cable, as above, to effectively install a
straight-through cable.
If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S50V
2
system to the end of the RJ-45 cable that will connect to your terminal.
Set your initial console terminal settings to match the default console settings on
3
the switch.
9600 baud rate
No parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No flow control (console port only)
After establishing a connection, you can modify the settings to match at each
end of the connection.
Accessing the Console Port
Connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S50V system to the RJ-
45 cable.
