The Console port of the SSG devices, ISG devices, and NetScreen devices (NS25, NS50, NS204, NS208, NS5200, NS5400) is a RJ-45 serial console port connector, for VT100 terminal emulator programs to perform local configuration and administration.
The Modem port is also a RJ-45 serial console port connector, for establishing remote console sessions using dialup connections through a 9600 bps RS-232 cable. Dialing into the modem establishes the dialup console connection.
To create an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter, use the following table for both the modem port and the console port:
