NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect
your laptop or PC directly to the device, use a combinaon of the RJ-45 to DB-9 socket adapter
supplied with the device and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9
plug adapter.
To use a system console to congure and manage the Roung Engine, connect it to the appropriate
Console port labeled CONSOLE on the Roung Engine module (RE module) in an EX9200 switch. To use
a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the auxiliary (labeled AUX) port on the RE
module or front panel. Both ports accept a cable with an RJ-45 connector. One serial cable with an
RJ-45 connector and a DB-9 connector is provided with the switch. To connect a device to the console
port and another device to the auxiliary port, you must supply an addional cable.
To connect the device to a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Turn o the power to the console or auxiliary device.
