    • Flow Control—None
    • Data—8
    • Parity—None
    • Stop Bits—1
    • DCD State—Disregard
  • Connect the console port on the ACX7024 or ACX7024X to a laptop or a desktop PC using the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. The console (CON) port is the lower RJ-45 port on the left side of the port panel. 
  • At the Junos OS Evolved login prompt, type root to log in. You don't need to enter a password. If the software boots before you connect your laptop or desktop PC to the console port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.

NOTE: If your laptop or desktop PC doesn't have a serial port, use a serial-to-USB adapter (not provided).

If the console is working even with initial settings, pls follow below steps
