Provided below is an example schematic using MAX3232, the RS-232 Line Driver/Receiver from Texas Instruments |
||
(TI), to make a console board. |

The DB9 (Male) connector is wired as a DCE (think of this as a peripheral serial port), and can be connected directly to the serial port on a host PC. This gives you access to the built-in serial console on the router (using the protocol of 38400bps, 8 data bits, none parity, 1 stop bit, without flow control).
Connect the console board to the pin header (J303) on the router board.

The pin-out of J303 on the KWGR614 board is as follows: |
from |
|
Pin 1: VDDH (3.3V) |
||
www |
||
Pin 2: TxD |
||
Pin 3: RxD |
||
. |
||
Pin 4: GND (Ground) |
|
|
There are 3rd party vendors who provide compatible console boards, such us the AD233AK/AD233BK RS232 |

Make sure the adapter board is connected correctly to the corresponding pins of J303 on the router board.
