Connecting an ACX5000 Router to a Management Console
The ACX routers has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to
connect the device to a management console or to a console server.
Ensure that you have an RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable available. An RJ-45 cable with an
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is provided with the device.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you
want to connect your laptop or PC directly to the ACX routers, use a
combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter supplied with the
device and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9
male adapter.
To connect the ACX router to a management console (see Figure 41 on page 121 and
Figure 42 on page 122):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port (labeled CON).
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the console server (see
Figure 41 on page 121) or management console (see Figure 42 on page 122).
