NOTE: Figure 18 on page 65 shows a connection to a local management
device. A remote connection to the services gateway through a modem
requires the cable and connector shown (provided in the services gateway
accessory box), plus a DB-9 female to DB-25 male (or similar) adapter for
your modem, which you must purchase separately.
To connect to the CLI using a local management device through the console port on the
services gateway:
