The Console port is used to configure the features and parameter settings 
of the switch. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is 
commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is 
not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must 
be at the location of the switch and must use the management cable 
included with the switch.
To establish a local management session with the switch, you connect a 
terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the 
Console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector, using the 
provided management cable. The cable which has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) 
and DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.

Default baud rate: 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
