Installing an MX104 Console or Auxiliary Cable
The CONSOLE port on the front panel of the router accepts an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial
cable with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTE: The AUX port is not supported.
To connect a cable between the router and the console or auxiliary device:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. Connect one end of the replacement cable into the CONSOLE/AUX port.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the device's serial port.
