Step 1
Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ45 connector to the light blue console port on the chassis. or Connect a
USB Type A-to-Type A cable to the USB console port as shown in the figure below . If you are using the USB serial
port for the first time on a Windows-based PC, install the USB driver now according to the instructions in the following
sections:

Note
USB port is used it takes priority over the RJ45 EIA port.
Note
The USB Type A-to-Type A cable is not included with the Cisco NCS 4206; it is ordered separately.
Step 2
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.
When installing the cabling to the RSPs, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling sufficient
to allow for fan tray removal.
You cannot use the USB and RS232 console ports at the same time; if you insert the USB cable into the
chassis, the RS232 port is disabled.
Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the chassis and the PC, by
using the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port. Otherwise, the connection will fail. For more
