Replacing the Console or Auxiliary Cable on an MX960 Router
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the AUX port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept a cable with an RJ-45 connector. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply two cables.
We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)
RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)
RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)
If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.
To replace a cable connected to a management console or auxiliary device:
- Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD grounding point.
- Press the tab on the connector, and pull the connector straight out of the port.
- Disconnect the cable from the console or auxiliary device.
- Plug the RJ-45 end of the replacement serial cable into the CONSOLE or AUX port. Figure 1 shows the external device ports on the Routing Engine.
- Plug the female DB-9 end into the console or auxiliary device's serial port.
