Logging in through the console/AUX port for the
first time
This section describes how to use the console port for login.
To log in through the console port, make sure the console terminal has a terminal emulation program (for
example, HyperTerminal in Windows XP). In addition, the port settings of the terminal emulation
program must be the same as the default settings of the console port in

To log in through the console port from a console terminal (for example, a PC):
1. Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the device.
IMPORTANT:
Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
•
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the switch has been powered on, always connect
•
the console cable to the PC before connecting it to the switch, and when you disconnect the cable, first
disconnect it from the switch.
