Connect the Router to a Console Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the router, connect it to the appropriate CON port on the router. The
console port is used to connect a laptop or console terminal to configure the router (see Figure 43 and Figure 44). The
console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector. We provide one serial cable with an RJ-45 connector and a DB-9
connector with the router.
NOTE: Use shielded CAT5e cable for connecting the CON and MGMT ports on the router.
To connect a management console:
1. Turn off power to the console device.
2. Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable (see Figure 42) into the CON port on the router.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
