Connect an ACX5400 Router to a Management Console
The ACX5400 routers have 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 ACX5400 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 ACX5400 router to a management console (see Figure 68 on page 107 and
Figure 69 on page 107):
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 68 on page 107) or
management console (see Figure 69 on page 107).
