Accessing ERX Routers
To connect a console directly to the system:
1. Connect the female DB-9 connector to the RS-232 port on the system’s SRP
I/O module. See Figure 36.
Figure 36: Management Ports for ERX Routers
2. Connect the crossover adapter connector to your PC’s serial port.
3. Power up the system.
When you power up the system, the CLI appears on your console’s screen.
The system is now in User Exec mode, and you can begin configuration. For
more information on using the CLI and configuring the system, see the JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide.
NOTE: Direct access through the RS-232 serial port enables you to monitor the
system while it boots.
