Connecting to the Console Connector

The console connector on the router is a DCE interface on a

RJ45 pinout. The supplied DB9 to RJ45 converter should be

used to connect to the DB9 connector of a DTE terminal.

This connection will then provide access to the built-in menu

system.
If the console interface is to be connected to a modem or

other DCE device, a standard RS-232 crossover converter

should be used.
The following table illustrates the console pinouts.
