DI-3660 Router

Connecting to the Console & Auxiliary Port of the Router

There is one Console port and one AUX port on D-Link DI-3660 Router. This section describes the features and usage of these two ports.

Console Port

Transmission Rate supported is 1200bps-to-115200bps and it has a standard RJ45 Connector, Parity Check is optional, and has Flow Control. A dedicated Console cable, DRC-0001, provided with the router is used to connect this port to a terminal device like VT-100, or to the serial port of PC, and then use a terminal emulator (such as Windows Hyper terminal software) to configure & monitor the D-Link DI-3660 Router functions. The communication parameter of the serial port on a PC has to be set as: Rate: 9600bps rate, eight-bit data bits, one-bit stop bit, no Parity Check bit, and no flow control as shown in Figure :

The RJ-45 connector of the Console port is shown in the following figure, the male and female connectors are pin-to-pin corresponding and the pin numbers 1-8 start from left to right.

The connection between the Console port of D-Link DI-3660 Router and the terminal device or PC serial port is illustrated as below:
