Connecting the Router to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
You can connect a console, laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device by connecting a
serial cable to the port on the front panel labeled CONSOLE/AUX. This port accepts a
serial cable with an RJ-45 connector, which is provided with the router.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable into the AUX port or CONSOLE port on the front
panel (Figure 26 on page 96 shows the connector. Figure 27 on page 96 shows the
ports.)
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
NOTE:
For console devices, configure the serial port to the following values:
•
Bits per second—9600
•
Data bits—8
•
Parity—None
•
Stop bits—1
•
Flow control—None
