Figure 14: Interface for Externally Managed Switches

2.6.1 RJ-45 Connector “CONSOLE” Internally Managed Switches only

The port labeled is for a local host connection to the management module. This is used

the first time the switch is connected. A harness is included in the package to connect to a DB9

connection on a host PC. Connecting to a local host PC and following the instructions in the

Installation Guide, “Configuring the Switch for the First Time”, must be done before any remote

management is available. For the Socket pinout see

“RJ-45 CONSOLE and I2C Interface” on

page 61.

The Ethernet connection labeled provides access for remote management. The switch can
