Configuring The Management Port - Cisco Catalyst X4232 Installation And Configuration Note

Connecting a Terminal
To connect a terminal to the console port using the cable and adapters provided with the
Catalyst 4000 family switch, ensure that the console port mode switch is in the "in" position (factory
default position). Connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 DTE adapter
or RJ-45-to-DB-9 DTE adapter (labeled "Terminal").
Check the documentation that came with your terminal to determine the baud rate. The baud rate of the
terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the console port.
Set up the terminal using the following specifications:
