Figure2-9 Connecting the Console Cable to the Router
Step2 Connect the end of the cable with the DB-9 connector to the terminal or PC. If
your terminal or PC has a console port that does not fit a DB-9 connector, you
must provide a correct adapter for that port.
Connecting a Modem
When a modem is connected to the auxiliary port, a remote user can dial into the
router and configure it. You can use the light blue console cable that came in the
accessory kit. If you are using the light blue cable with the console port, you can
use any crossover RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable, along with an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter
that you must provide.
Follow these steps to connect a modem to the router:
Step1 Connect the RJ-45 end of the console cable to the black AUX port on the router.
