Using a Console Connection
(RJ45-to-DB9 DCE)
The Services Router provides an serial port that
enables a connection to a computer or terminal
for monitoring and configuring the device. This
port is a RJ-45 connector, implemented as a
data communication terminal equipment (DCE)
connection.
To use the console port connection, you need the
following equipment:
1. A terminal or a computer with both a serial port
and the ability to emulate a terminal.
2. A RJ45-to-DB9 RS-232 with female connector.
(Already included in packing list)
3. If your Laptop or PC doesn't have RS-232
connector, a converter is required.
Note: DSR-250 does not come with RS-232
converter and these must be purchased
separately.
To establish a console connection:
1. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the supplied
RJ45-to-DB9 cable directly to the console port
on the Services Router.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a
terminal or to the serial connector of a
computer running terminal emulation software.
Set the terminal emulation software as
following:
Baud rate: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
3. When you have correctly set up the terminal,
having previously followed the instructions
in section "Connecting Power and Turn the
Device On/Off" then switch on your device.
The boot sequence appears in the terminal.
4. Once the boot sequence completes, the
command prompt is displayed, the device is
ready to be configured.
