Juniper Networks EX4200 - Manual (Page 180)

NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you want
to connect your laptop or PC directly to an EX Series switch, use a combination of
the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the switch and a USB to DB-9 male
adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.
To connect an EX Series switch to a management console (see Figure 62 on page 154
and Figure 63 on page 154):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port (labeled CON or
CONSOLE ) on the EX Series switch.
For the location of the CON/CONSOLE port on different EX Series switches:
■ See Rear Panel of an EX2200 Switch.
■ See “Rear Panel of an EX3200 Switch” on page 9.
■ See “Rear Panel of an EX4200 Switch” on page 11.
■ See Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) Module in an EX8208 Switch.
■ See Routing Engine (RE) Module in an EX8216 Switch.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the console server (see Figure
62 on page 154) or management console (see Figure 63 on page 154).
To configure the switch from the management console, see“Connecting and
Configuring an EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)” on page 161 or “Connecting and
Configuring an EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)” on page 163.
