Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
ML-Series IOS CLI Console Port
RJ-11 to RJ-45 Console Cable Adapter
Due to space limitations on the ML-Series card faceplate, the console port is an RJ-11 modular jack
instead of the more common RJ-45 modular jack. Cisco supplies an RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable adapter
(P/N 15454-CONSOLE-02) with each ML-Series card. After connecting the adapter, the console port
functions like the standard Cisco RJ-45 console port. Figure 3-3 shows the RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable
adapter.
Figure 3-3 Console Cable Adapter
Table 3-1 shows the mapping of the RJ-11 pins to the RJ-45 pins.
Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port
Use the supplied cable, an RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable adapter, and a DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to
the ML-Series console port.
The PC must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC
application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the ML-Series
and your PC or terminal possible during the setup program.
Step 1 Configure the data rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
Step 2 Insert the RJ-45 connector of the supplied cable into the female end of the supplied console cable
adapter.
