Cisco Asa 5505 Serial Settings
Connecting to a Cisco Firewall Using a Console Cable Obviously before you start you will need a console cable, you CAN NOT use a normal network cable, OR a crossover cable as they are wired differently! They are wired the opposite way round at each end, for this reason some people (and some documentation) refer to them as rollover cables. They are usually Pale blue (or black).
Note if you find your console cable is too short you can extend it with a normal network cable coupler and a standard straight through network cable. On each end of the console cable the wiring is reversed. Old (Top) and New (Bottom) versions of the Console Cable. Note: If you don’t have a serial socket on your PC or Laptop you will need a to Serial converter (this will need a driver installing to add another COM Port to the PC). Option 1 Using PuTTY for Serial Access. Connect your console cable, then download and run. (I’m assuming you are using the COM1 socket on your machine, if you have multiple serial sockets then change accordingly).
