Sidenote: The RJ-45 connector marked Console is NOT ETHERNET. It's the same type of connector, yes. It needs a special console cable that connects to your serial port. It's pretty straight forward and you could make your own. Look around the Cisco site. It has tons of information..

And please, please start to learn the correct names for the connectors/interface.. A large console connector that requires a printercord end? Ohhhh, you mean a 25pin DB .. serial and parallel connectors on the back of your pc use the same type of connector, the difference is male/female (guess which is what The interface however IS very diffent. The serial one is RS-232 and the parallel is centronics.

So that "large console connector that requires a printercord end" is actually a 25pin RS-232 interface. Meaning you probably need a 25pin to 9pin serial cable. A 'normal' modem cable should do..

After you've configured it through the console you can manage both remotely across the network.
