I thought, when I started working on the ACME Net-Net devices, that I could probably use a Cisco console cable and I would be just fine when trying to console into the 3820 ACMEs I have. However, that was not true. Instead of a roll over cable, which Cisco uses, I had to use a regular Cat5 patch cable to connect to their adapter that comes in the box. With that said, there are two console ports on the Net-Net. One in the front, and one in the back. The default is the one in the front (pictured below), not the back. Make sure you plug into the front, because you have to tell the ACME to use the back if you want that one.
This is the retired Shane Killen personal blog, an IT technical blog about configs and topics related to the Network and Security Engineer working with Cisco, Brocade, Check Point, and Palo Alto and Sonicwall. I hope this blog serves you well. -- May The Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you, and bring you peace.
a cisco console cable with a null modem works as well
