DB-9 (RS-232-D) Service Port Connector

The DB-9 service port connector (see Figure B-4) is conﬁgured as a data

communications equipment (DCE) device connector. The DSR and CTS signal

outputs are always asserted. The CD, DTR, RTS, and RI signal inputs are not

used. This arrangement allows a management station (a PC or terminal) to directly

connect to the switch using a straight-through cable.
