Connecting to the
Console Port
To set up your Switch manually you can alternatively make a connection 
to the console port (this example describes a local connection to the 
console port, rather than a remote one via a modem). You can do this 
whilst the Switch is offline, that is, before you connect the Switch to a 
network, or whilst the Switch is online, that is, connected to a network.
