Juniper SRX380 - Connecting an SRX380 to a Management Console by Using the Mini-USB Type-B Console Port

Connecting an SRX380 to a Management Console by Using the Mini-USB
Type-B Console Port
You can configure and manage the SRX380 by using the RJ-45 console port or the Mini-USB Type-B
console port. Only one console port is active at a time.
If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin or RJ-45 connector pin, you can connect
your laptop or PC directly to the device by using a Mini-USB cable that has a Standard-A USB connector
on one end and a Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connector on the other end.
Before you begin connecting the device by using the Mini-USB Type-B console port:
•
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
One Mini-USB cable with Standard-A and Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connectors (not provided)
•
Ensure that the USB to Serial driver is installed on the host machine.
•
Ensure that the HyperTerminal properties of the console server or laptop are set as follows:
•
Baud rate—9600
•
Flow control—None
•
Data—8
•
Parity—None
•
Stop bits—1
•
DCD state—Disregard
To connect the device to the console by using the Mini-USB Type-B console port:
1. Connect the host machine to the device using the active console port, which is the RJ-45 console port
by default.
2. Set the Mini-USB Type-B console port as the active console port by using the port-type command.
By default, the RJ-45 port is set as an active console port and the Mini-USB Type-B port is the passive
console port.
3. Reboot the device.
4. Connect the Standard-A connector of the Mini-USB cable to the host machine (PC or laptop).
5. Connect the Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connector of the Mini-USB cable to the Mini-USB Type-B console
port (labeled CON) on the device.
