Use a console terminal, such as a laptop, a desktop, or any other auxiliary device to configure and
manage the gateway. You can connect the gateway to a console terminal directly using either the
RJ-45 console port or the USB console ports.
To Connect the Gateway Using the RJ-45 Console Port:
1. Plug the RJ-45 end of the crossover twisted-pair cable into the RJ-45 console port of the
gateway.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of the console terminal or PC.
To Connect the Gateway Using the USB Console Port:
1. Plug the Type B end of the USB cable to the USB console port of the gateway.
2. Connect the Type A end of the USB cable to the USB port of the console terminal or PC.
You can connect the gateway to external devices using any of the Ethernet ports.
