Connecting an MX10016 Router to a Management Console
An MX10016 router has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to connect the
device to a management console or to a console server.
Ensure that you have an RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable available. An RJ-45 cable with an RJ-45 to DB-9
adapter is provided with the device.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you want to connect
your laptop or PC directly to the MX10016 router, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45
to DB-9 adapter supplied with the device and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the
USB to DB-9 male adapter.
To connect an MX10016 to a management console (see Figure 56 on page 152 and Figure 57 on page 152 ):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port (labeled CON).
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into a console server (see Figure 56 on page 152 ) or a
management console (see Figure 57 on page 152 ).
