Optionally, youcan use the Serial Interface to provide the Switch with a Management IP Address,subnet mask, and default gateway address (refer to page 4-2 for details). Later,you can use the serial interface configuration menu to perform managementfunctions that you might need if problems were to arise.The serial cable provided with the Switch is a DB9/DB25-to-DB9/DB25. Thisprovides a crossover (transmit-to-receive and receive-to-transmit). The DB9connector goes into the Switch and the other DB9 or DB25 connector goes intoyour workstation.
