Console connection to switch module/pass-through card
Follow the steps below to connect a console to switch module/pass-through card via an EM card. The
procedure after connection depends on the specification of consoles of the connected switch module.
(The specification of the serial console is the same as the one when the console is directly connected to
the switch module/pass-through card.) Configure settings by referring to the user‟s guide of your
switch module after connection is achieved.
Some switch modules/pass-through cards need not or cannot be connected. For details, refer to the
user‟s guide of each switch module/pass-through card.
1. Confirm whether the EM card is powered on.
2. Ensure that you have logged in as “Administrator” or a user whose access right is
“ADMINISTRATOR” or “OPERATOR” from a CLI of the EM serial console or the EM console.
(If you have not, log in as “Administrator” or a user whose access right is “ADMINISTRATOR”
or “OPERATOR.”)
3. Run the below command from a CLI to configure settings. (For details, refer to “Commands.”)

Depending on the switch module/pass-through card type, different operation may be required and/or
different steps may be taken. In this case, descriptions in the user‟s guide of the switch
module/pass-through card should be prioritized.
