Cabling

• Plug Opengear's Cisco specific adapter Cable (Opengear PartNo 449016) into the Cisco device's console port (do not plug it into the console server's serial port, that won't work!)
• Use a common, straight ethernet patch cable to connect the console server's serial port to the socket of the adapter cable.
• Connect via SSH to <IP of console server> on port 3000 + <PortNo>. If your console server has the IP address of 192.168.3.3 and your Cisco device is connected to port 25, the connect to 192.168.3.3:3025.
