Connecting the MX480 Router to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
appropriate
CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other
auxiliary device, connect it to the AUX port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept a
cable with an RJ-45 connector. One serial cable with an RJ-45 connector and a DB-9
connector is provided with the router. To connect a device to the
CONSOLE port and
another device to the AUX port, you must supply an additional cable.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable ( Figure 62 on page 99 shows the connector)
into the AUX port or CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. Figure 61 on page 99 shows
the ports.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
NOTE:
For console devices, configure the serial port to the following values:
• Baud rate—9600
• Parity—N
• Data bits—8
• Stop bits—1
• Flow control—none
