This is off the top of my head - so be warned. You should be able to use a
standard console cable with the addition of the 25 pin to RJ-45 adapter that
(used) to come with the kit. Believe that it is marked "modem".
Method #2 I seem to remember using a standard serial cable with DB-25s each
end plus a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter to connect to 4700s which also have a
25-pin console. (For those who remember when PC serial ports were 25-pin and
then changed to 9.)
