Console Port Connector Pinout Information

The console port on a Juniper Networks device is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45
connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate for the console port is
9600 baud.
Table 52 on page 143 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector.
NOTE: If your laptop or desktop PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to
connect your laptop or desktop PC directly to a device, use a combination of the RJ-45-to-DB-9
socket adapter and a USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB-to-DB-9 plug
adapter.
