To access the console port, follow these steps:

For the console port pinout, refer to Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter.

1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover (crossover) cable to connect the console port to a terminal server.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.

3 Terminal settings on the console port cannot be changed in the software and are set as follows:

• 115200 baud rate

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No ow control
