Connecting to the console serial port
The serial port interface enables administrators to perform management tasks on the SN10200. To connect to
the serial port of a SN10200:
1. Connect a CAT5 RJ-45 (male-male) cable (supplied with unit) between the COM port of your computer
and the serial port (labelled 1010) of the SN10200 as shown in Figure 3.
2. If your computer’s serial port features a DB9 connector, use the DB9 to RJ-45 adapter supplied with your
SN10200. If your computer's serial port features a USB connector, you will need to provide a USB to
DB9 adapter.
