Connecting to the Console Port
The Mobility Router uses a serial console port to provide a direct connection to the
command-line interface (CLI) Wizard for initial configuration the Mobility Router. After
completing the initial configuration, access to the console port is no longer necessary.
To initially configure the Mobility Router, connect the management PC or laptop to the serial
console port of the Mobility Router. If there is no serial port, use a 9-pin serial to USB adapter
to connect to the serial cable.
To connect the PC or laptop to the serial console port:
1
Insert one end of the serial cable into the PC or laptop serial port.
2
Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port of the Mobility Router.
