Console Port
The console port is an asynchronous RS-232 serial port with an RJ-45 connector. You can use the RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter or the RJ-45 to DB-25 female DTE adapter (depending on your computer serial port) to connect the console port to a computer running terminal emulation software.
