For the Serial-Console Port
The serial-Console port requires a rollover cable (RJ-45 to RJ-45) that is included
with the ARX-installation kit. This cable is sufficient for connecting to a Terminal
Server. For a direct connection to the serial port on a management station (such as a
laptop), an RJ-45 to DB9 adapter is also included in the kit.
