Connecting to the Network
To connect the E-series router to the network:
1
Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T
(RJ-45) port on the SRP I/O module until it clicks into place.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet
network for an out-of-band connection.
Connecting to a Console Terminal
When you connect a console directly to the E-series router SRP I/O
module, use a cable appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable
must have a female DB-9 connector to attach to the RS-232 port on the
SRP I/O module.
To connect the console to the SRP I/O module:
1
Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten
the screws.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal's serial port
(VT100/ANSI).
