PTX10008 Console and Management Cable Specifications and Pinouts
The following sections describe the console port, the USB port, and the management port connections and specifications.
Console Port Connector Pinouts for a PTX10008
The console port (labeled CON) on the Routing and Control Board panel is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate for the console port is 9600 baud.
Table 1 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector.
If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or PC directly to a PTX10008 router, use a combination of an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 plug adapter.
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.

USB Port Specifications for the PTX10008 Router
The following Juniper Networks USB flash drives have been tested and are officially supported for the USB port in the PTX10008 router:
RE-USB-1G-S—1-GB USB flash drive
RE-USB-2G-S—2-GB USB flash drive
RE-USB-4G-S—4-GB USB flash drive
Any USB memory product not listed as supported for the PTX10008 router has not been tested by Juniper Networks. The use of any unsupported USB memory product could expose your device to unpredictable behavior. Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can provide only limited support for issues related to unsupported hardware. We strongly recommend that you use only supported USB flash drives.
Remove the USB flash drive before upgrading Junos OS or rebooting a PTX10008 Router. Failure to do so could expose your device to unpredictable behavior.
USB flash drives used with the PTX10008 router must support USB 2.0 or later.
Management Port Connector Pinouts for the PTX10008 Router
The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 management ports use an RJ-45 connector to connect a management device for out-of-band management.
Table 2 provides the pinout information of the RJ-45 management port connector.
