Connecting the SRX320 Firewall to a Management Console

Use the CONSOLE port on the services gateway to connect to a management console.

To connect the SRX320 Firewall to a management console, use an RJ-45 cable:

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  2. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the CONSOLE port on the SRX320 Firewall as shown in Figure 1.

  3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the DB-9 adapter, which then connects to the serial port on the management device (serial port settings: 9600-N-1).
    Note:

    Alternately, you can use the USB cable to connect to the mini-USB console port on the services gateway. To use the mini-USB console port, you must download a USB driver to the management device from the Downloads page. To download the driver for Windows OS, select 6.5 from the Version drop-down list. To download the driver for Mac OS, select 4.10 from the Version drop-down list.
    Note:

    We no longer include the console cable 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.
