Management Port Connector Pinout Information for ACX7024 and ACX7024X Routers
The management port—labeled MGMT—on an ACX7024 and ACX7024X uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a management device for out-of-band management.
The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support a 10/100/1000BASE-T connection.
Table 2 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 connector for the management port.

Console Port Connector Pinout on ACX7024 and ACX7024X Routers
The port labeled CON on the front panel is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate for the console port is 9600 baud.
Use a cable with the pinouts described in Table 3 to connect an ACX7024 or ACX7024X to a console management device.
If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or PC directly to an ACX7024 or ACX7024X, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter.

USB Port Specifications for ACX7024 and ACX7024X Routers
The ACX7024 and ACX7024X router uses the following USB ports:
- One USB 2.0 Type A port that is backward compatible with USB 1.0. You can use this port for software installation and upgrade using a USB storage device.
- One USB 3.0 Type C port that is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can use this port for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module.
Remove the USB flash drive before upgrading Junos OS Evolved or rebooting an ACX7024 or ACX7024X. Failure to do so could cause the router to behave unpredictably.
