Connect to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device

To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the CONSOLE port on the craft interface. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the appropriate AUX/MODEM port on the craft interface. Both ports accept an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with the router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. See Cable Specifications for Routing Engine Management Interfaces. To connect a management console or auxiliary device, follow this procedure:

1. Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the female end (shown in Figure 23) of the provided console cable into the CONSOLE or AUX/MODEM port (see Figure 21).
3. Using a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the screws on the connector.
4. Attach the other end of the cable to the console or auxiliary device.
