Console Port Connector Pinout on ACX7332 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 ACX7332 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 ACX7332, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter.
