Connect the RJ45 end of the cable to the RJ45 serial console port and the DB9 connector to your
PC.

the serial console with the correct settings (default setting 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1
stop bit, and no flow control).

NOTE: By default, no network information is configured. The DHCP client is
enabled on VLAN 1 by default on the N1500 switches. DNS is enabled, but
no DNS servers are configured. If you assign an IP address to VLAN 1, you
can connect to the switch management interface by using any of the front-
panel switch ports. This is required to manage the N1500 switches over an
Ethernet port.
