The console port on a Juniper Networks device is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45

9600 baud.
Table 28 on page 68 provides the pinout informaon for the RJ-45 console connector.
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 a 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.
