Connecting the Controller Console Port

Connecting the Controller Console Port
Note Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the router and the PC using
the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port, otherwise the connection will fail.
Procedure
Step 1 Perform either one of the following tasks:
• Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ-45 connector to the console port on the controller.
• Connect a Micro USB Type-B cable to the Micro USB console port. If you are using the USB serial port
Note
Step 2
If you are using a standard Cisco DB-9 console cable, connect the end of the cable with the DB-9 connector
(or USB Type-A) to the terminal or PC. If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not accommodate
a DB-9 connector, you must provide an appropriate adapter for that port.
Step 3 To communicate with the controller, start a terminal emulator application. This software should be configured
with the following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• No flow control
• 1 stop bit
