H3C SR6604 Installation Manual page 60

You can connect a configuration terminal to the router by using the console cable or by using the
USB cable.
To connect a configuration terminal to the router by using a console cable:
1. Select a configuration terminal, which can be a character terminal with an RS-232 serial port, or
a PC.
If the PC does not have an RS-232 serial port but a USB port, use a USB to RS-232 adapter for
the USB port and install the driver.
2. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable into the serial port on the configuration
terminal and the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the router
The console cable connection procedures are the same for the routers. The following uses an
SR6608 as an example.

IMPORTANT:
• To use a USB-to-RJ45 console cable to connect the router to a configuration terminal, first
download and install the USB-to-RJ45 console driver on the configuration terminal, and then
connect the USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration terminal. To download the
USB-to-RJ45 console driver, access the H3C official website or scan the QR code on the cable
package.
• If you have connected a USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration terminal before
installing the driver, remove and reconnect the USB-to-RJ45 console cable to the configuration
terminal after driver installation.
The following installs the driver on the Windows system. To install the driver on other operating
systems, see the installation guide in the driver compression package named by using the
corresponding operating system.
