This topic applies to multiple hardware devices in the EX Series product family, which
includes switches and the XRE200 External Routing Engine.
You can configure and manage these devices using a dedicated console. Every device
has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to connect the device
to the management console or to a console server. The console port accepts a cable
with an RJ-45 connector.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45
cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the device.
Figure 52 on page 115 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the
device.

NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you
want to connect your laptop or PC directly to the device, use a combination
of the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter supplied with the device and a USB to
DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.
