Connecting the Router to a Console Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the appropriate CON
port on the RCB interface. The console port is used to connect a laptop or console terminal to configure
the router (see Figure 32 on page 103 and Figure 33 on page 103). The console port accepts a cable with an
RJ-45 connector. One serial cable with an RJ-45 connector and a DB-9 connector is provided with the
router.
NOTE: Use shielded CAT5e cable for connecting the CON and MGMT ports in RCB for INDIA
only.
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 31 on page 103) into the CON port on the RCB interface.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
