Console Management Interface (CMI)
You can manage the Intelligent Switch locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or
workstation with terminal emulation software, to the Intelligent Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation
connects to the Intelligent Switch serial port using a console cable that has the appropriate connectors on each
end. This management method is ideal when:
The network is unreliable.
The switch has not been assigned an IP address.
The Network Manager does not have direct network connection.
Equipment Required

address. The Remote Console Management interface is identical in appearance and functionality to the Local
Console Management interface described in the previous section.
