Console Port
The console port is an RJ-45 serial data terminal equipment (DTE) port that can be
used for either local or remote administration. For local administration, connect the
port to a terminal with an RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female-to-male) straight-through serial
cable. For remote administration, connect the port to a workstation with an
RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female-to-male) serial cable with a null modem adapter.
See “Connectors” on page 64 for the RJ-45 connector pinouts.
AUX Port
The auxiliary (AUX) port is an RJ-45 serial port wired as a DTE that you can connect
to a modem to allow remote administration. We do not recommend using this port
for regular remote administration. The AUX port is typically assigned to be the
backup serial interface. The baud rate is adjustable from 9600 bps to 115200 bps
and requires hardware flow control.
See “Connectors” on page 64 for the RJ-45 connector pinouts.
