    • connect a Cisco to Opengear Adapter Cable between the light blue rollover cable and the console port of the Opengear device you want connect to.
    • you should see a console output.

Connecting ALIX Mini PC Local Consoles

Configuration of Serial Ports

  • Common Settings
    • Baud Rate: 38400
    • Data Bits: 8
    • Parity: None
    • Stop Bits: 1
    • Flow Control: None
