Connecting the Controller Console Port

Note

Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the router and the PC using

the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port, otherwise the connection will fail.

Procedure

Step 1

Perform either one of the following tasks:

• Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ-45 connector to the console port on the controller.

• Connect a Micro USB Type-B cable to the Micro USB console port. If you are using the USB serial port

Note

Step 2

If you are using a standard Cisco DB-9 console cable, connect the end of the cable with the DB-9 connector

(or USB Type-A) to the terminal or PC. If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not accommodate

a DB-9 connector, you must provide an appropriate adapter for that port.

Step 3

To communicate with the controller, start a terminal emulator application. This software should be configured

with the following parameters:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• No parity

• No flow control

• 1 stop bit

Before you begin

Caution

To comply with Class A emission requirements, a shielded Ethernet cable must be used for the connection
