Installing the S25P System 29This chapter contains these major sections:• Accessing the Console Port• Installing Optics on page 30— Installing SFPs on page 31— Installing XFPs on page 32Accessing the Console PortTo access the console port, use the following procedure.Chapter 4 Installing PortsConnect the RJ-45/DB-9adapter that is shipped withthe S25P system to theRJ-45 cable.Console port pinout:Pin 1 = NCPin 2 = NCPin 3 = RXDPin 4 = GNDPin 5 = GNDPin 6 = TXDPin 7 = NCPin 8 = NCFigure 18 Console Port of S25P Set your initial console terminal settingsto match the default console settings onthe switch:• 9600 baud rate• No parity• 8 data bits• 1 stop bit• No flow control (console portonly)After establishing a connection, you canmodify the settings to match at each endof the connection.Step Task1 Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the S25P system into the console port.Caution: You must install a straight-through RJ-45 copper cable (a standard Ethernet cable) into theconsole port. This is different from many other implementations that require an Ethernet crossovercable (or rollover cable). If connecting to a terminal server and using a crossover cable, daisychainanother crossover cable to effectively get a straight-through cable connection. Many console terminalservers use octopus cables that are crossover cables. To accommodate the octopus cable, connect anadditional crossover cable, as above, to effectively install a straight-through cable.fn00159s25PP2827XFP26AC1XFP25 AC2AlarmStack ID
