Connecting an SRX210 Services Gateway to the CLI Locally
If you plan to use the CLI to configure the SRX210 Services Gateway, you must
connect through the console port, as shown in Figure 28 on page 95.
Figure 28: Connecting to the Console Port on an SRX210 Services Gateway
NOTE: Figure 28 on page 95 shows a connection to a local management device. A
remote connection to the services gateway through a modem requires the cable and
connector shown (provided in the services gateway accessory box), plus a DB-9
female to DB-25 male (or similar) adapter for your modem, which you must purchase
separately.
To connect to the CLI using a local management device through the console port on
the services gateway:
1. Turn off power to the services gateway.
2. Turn off power to the management device, such as a PC or laptop computer,
that you are using to access the CLI.
3. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with your services gateway into the
RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with your services gateway (see Figure
28 on page 95).
4. Plug the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter into the serial port on the management
device (see Figure 28 on page 95).
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the console port on the services
gateway (see Figure 28 on page 95).
6. Turn on the power to the management device.
