MX10004 Alarm and Management Cable Specifications and Pinouts

The console port (labeled CON) on the RCB panel is an RS-232 serial interface. It uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate for the console port is 9600 baud.

Table 1 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector.

Note:

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 MX10004 router, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter and a USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter.

Note:

We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

• RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

• RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)

• RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.

Table 1: Console Port Connector Pinouts for the MX10004 Router

Pin	Signal	Description
1	RTS Output	Request to send
2	DTR Output TOD Output for PTP applications	Data terminal ready Time of day for Precision Time Protocol (PTP). You can use DTR pins as a TOD universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) by using breakout cables.
3	TxD Output	Transmit data
4	Signal Ground	Signal ground
5	Signal Ground	Signal ground
6	RxD Input	Receive data
7	DCD Input TOD Output for PTP applications	Data carrier detect Time of day for PTP. You can use DCD pins as a TOD UART by using breakout cables.
8	CTS Input	Clear to send

The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 management ports use an RJ-45 connector to connect to one of these points:

• The control plane and management network in an MX10004 router

• A management device for out-of-band management

Table 2 provides the pinout information of the RJ-45 management port connector.
