Connect to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device

To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
CONSOLE port on the craft interface. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device,
connect it to the appropriate AUX/MODEM port on the craft interface. Both ports accept an
RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with
the router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. See
"Cable Specifications for Routing Engine Management Interfaces" on page 52. To connect a
management console or auxiliary device, follow this procedure:

Connect PIC Cables

Now connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to the PICs,
follow this procedure (see Figure 24, which shows a fiber-optic PIC):
1.
Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
Plug the female end (shown in Figure 23) of the provided console cable into the
CONSOLE or AUX/MODEM port (see Figure 21).
Using a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the screws on the connector.
Attach the other end of the cable to the console or auxiliary device.
Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the PIC. For cable specifications, see
the M5 and M10 Internet Routers PIC Guide.
