Evolution X7 Satellite Router
Console Port Connection
1. Connect an RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight through cable, such as the Ethernet cable included, to
LAN 1 port on the X7 Router.
2. Connect the opposite end of the Ethernet cable to an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter,
or a USB dongle (such as a Trendnet TU-S9).
3. Connect to a PC running terminal emulation software.
PC serial port settings should be:
• asynchronous mode
• 9600 baud
• eight (8) data bits, no (N) parity bit, and one (1) stop bit, (9600/8-N-1)
The signal and pinouts for the asynchronous serial Console port (RS-232) of the X7 Router and
an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter are listed in Table D-3. A picture of the RJ-45 to DB-9
Female DTE adapter is shown in Figure D-8 on page 40.
