Console Connector and Pinouts
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.
