D-Link DGS-3630-28PC [6/25] Connecting to the console port

Web UI on the Switch can also be accessed using an HTTPS (SSL) connection. This

management interface is a more graphical representation of the features that can be

viewed and configured on this Switch. Most of the features available through the CLI can

be accessed through the Web UI. Web browsers like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla

Firefox, or Google Chrome can be used.

Connecting to the Console Port

The front panel of the Switch provides an RJ-45 and a mini-USB console port to connect a

remote system for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Both ports require their

respective cables included with the Switch, to establish the physical connection.

NOTE: When an active console connection is made to both the RJ-45 console port

and the mini-USB console port at the same time, the mini-USB console port will

have higher priority.

Connecting to the RJ-45 Console Port

To use the RJ-45 console port, the following equipment is needed:

 A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation

software

 A console cable with a male DB9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection

on the other

To connect the RJ-45 console port on the Switch to the computer:

 Connect the male DB9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to

the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software then

insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch.

To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

 Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).

 Set the data rate to 115200 baud.

 Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

 Set flow control to none.
