Connect a Terminal or Computer to the Console Port
Connect a terminal or computer to the Console port either to configure the
software by using the configuration software or to troubleshoot problems with
the router.
To connect a terminal or computer to the console port on the router, follow these
steps:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of a DB-9-to-RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45
Console port on the router.
2. Connect the DB-9 end of the DB-9-to-RJ-45 serial cable to the COM
port on your computer.
3. To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application,
such as Putty or Tereterm.
