Connecting the console cable
CAUTION:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating router, first
connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating router, first disconnect the router end.
To connect the console cable:
1. Select a configuration terminal, which can be an ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port or a
PC. (A PC is more commonly used.)
2. Connect the DB-9 connector (female) of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
configuration terminal and the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the router.
NOTE:
If the configuration terminal does not have an RS-232 serial port, a serial adapter is required
to connect the console cable to a USB port on the terminal.
