The Acme Packet 4600 has one console port located on the rear-facing NIU. The
Acme Packet 4600 ships with a console adapter that allows you to connect a standard
DB-9 serial port to the Acme Packet 4600's RJ45 console port. Only one console port
on the Acme Packet 4600 can be used at a time. 

This section explains how to create a serial connection to the Acme Packet 4600
console port. Use the console port for permanent connections to a terminal server or
other serial device.
To connect a console cable to the console port:
1. Locate a twisted pair console cable to connect to the Acme Packet 4600.
2. Remove the rubber dust cap from the Chassis console port if present.
3. Insert the RJ45 connector on the end of the console cable into the console port
labeled Console. The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks into place when you
insert it properly.

or other component where this serial connection terminates.
You can use the alarm port to indicate electrically when an alarm has been generated
on the Acme Packet 4600. The alarm port contains leads for three circuits, each of
which closes to signify a corresponding alarm.
