Cannot Establish a Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session

If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session

with the switch through the terminal port on the front panel, do the

following:

 Check that the RJ-45 connector of the serial management cable is

securely connected to the Console port on the switch, and the DB-

9 connector is connected to the RS-232 port on the terminal or

personal computer.

 Check that the operating parameters on the terminal or the

terminal emulation program have been set correctly. The settings

for the RJ-45 serial terminal port are located in “Starting a Local

Management Session” on page 64.
