RJ-11 to RJ-45 Console Cable Adapter

Due to space limitations on the ML-Series card faceplate, the console port is an RJ-11 modular jack
instead of the more common RJ-45 modular jack. Cisco supplies an RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable adapter
(P/N 15454-CONSOLE-02) with each ML-Series card. After connecting the adapter, the console port
functions like the standard Cisco RJ-45 console port.

application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the ML-Series
and your PC or terminal possible during the setup program.
