ML-Series Access
Telnetting to a Management Port
Users can access the ML-Series through a standard Cisco IOS management port in the same manner as
other Cisco IOS platforms. For further details on configuring ports and lines for management access,
refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
As a security measure, the vty (virtual type terminal) lines used for Telnet access are initially not fully
configured. In order to gain Telnet access to the ML-Series card, one must configure the vty lines via the
serial console connection or preload a startup-configuration file that configures the vty lines. A port on
the ML-Series must first be configured as the management port; see
section on page 3-8

ML-Series IOS CLI Console Port
The ML-Series card has an RJ-11 serial console port on the card faceplate labeled CONSOLE. The
console port is wired as data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE). It enables communication from the
serial port of a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software to the Cisco IOS command line
interface on a specific ML-Series card.
RJ-11 to RJ-45 Console Cable Adapter
Due to space limitations on the ML-Series card faceplate, the console port is an RJ-11 modular jack
instead of the more common RJ-45 modular jack. Cisco supplies an RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable adapter
(P/N 15454-CONSOLE-02) with each ML-Series card. After connecting the adapter, the console port
functions like the standard Cisco RJ-45 console port.
