Connecting to a Console Terminal

When you connect a console directly to the router SRP I/O module, use a cable
appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9
connector to attach to the RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module.

Cabling the SRP I/O Module
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing
an out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session or SNMP.
The RS-232 port accepts a DB-9 (female) connector for direct CLI access from a
console terminal.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct
connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a
crossover cable.
Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the SRP I/O module until it clicks into place.
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an
out-of-band connection.
