Connecting to the Console Port 
The serial console interface is an RS-232 port that enables a connection to a PC or 
terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch. You can also connect this port 
to an external modem to enable remote dial-in management of the switch. The 
port is implemented as a data communication equipment (DCE) connection, using 
a male DB-9 connector.
