PIX 515 Installation StepsUse the following steps to install a PIX 515:
Step 1 Use the Console port to connect to a computer to enter configuration commands. Locate the serial cable
from the accessory kit. The serial cable assembly consists of a null modem cable with RJ-45 connectors,
and one DB-9 connector and a DB-25 connector. Connect the cable as shown in Figure2-9 so that you
have either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector on one end as required by the serial port for your computer, and
the other end is the RJ-45 connector.
Connect the RJ-45 connector to the PIX 515 Console port and connect the other end to the serial port
connector on your computer.
