Setting Up Management Access on the CTP2000 Platform
Before you power on the device, you must set up a management console. You use the console to
communicate with the device during the power-on process, to set an IP address, and to manage the system
using the command-line interface (CLI).
You can monitor and manage the system through either of these methods:
Local serial console—You can connect a local serial console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly
to the CONSOLE terminal port. When you connect a local serial console directly to the device, you can
configure the device without an IP address. To communicate with the device, you must have a terminal
emulation program running on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program, such
as HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.
You can connect a local serial console to the COM2 port on the PP310 and PP332 processors. On the
PP833 processor, a local serial console is connected using the supplied USB-to-DB9 cable (p/n
720-071594), in which the DB-9 connector has the same pinout as a standard RS-232 DTE port. When
the USB-to-DB9 cable is used in conjunction with the DB-9 adapter labelled "p/n 450-071855", the
available RJ-45 console pinout will be the same as the console connection on the RTM of PP332/PP310
processor.
Alternatively, if the DB-9 adapter from the bag labelled "p/n 720-056657" is used instead of "p/n
450-071855", the available RJ-45 console pinout will be similar to the CTP150 console port (and other
Juniper routers). To connect the PP833 processor with the DB-9 male serial port of a PC, additionally
connect a straight RJ-45 cable with the DB-9 adapter from the bag labelled "p/n 720-056657". The
