Connect a Device to a Management Console Using an RJ‑45 Connector
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end and an RJ-45-to-DB-9
serial port adapter.
Figure 105 on page 169 shows the RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable.

NOTE: We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the
device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if
you need a dierent type of adapter, you can order the following separately:
• RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)
• RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)
• RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)
If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit)
Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, hps://dichip.com/drivers/vcp-
drivers/ to download the driver.
NOTE: If your laptop or desktop PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to
connect your laptop or desktop PC directly to the device, use a combinaon of the RJ-45-to-
DB-9 socket adapter and a USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB-to-DB-9 plug
adapter.
You can congure and manage your network devices using a dedicated management channel. Each
device has a console port that you can connect to using an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector. Use
the console port to connect the device to the console server or management console. The console port
accepts a cable that has an RJ-45 connector.
To connect the device to a management console (see Figure 106 on page 170 and Figure 107 on page
170):
