Console serial cable for AUDIOCODES Mediant 500 (single) — M500-SERIAL-SINGLE

This console serial cable is designed for the AUDIOCODES Mediant 500 gateway and provides a single direct serial connection to the device’s console port for configuration, maintenance and troubleshooting. It enables out-of-band access to the system command-line interface, allowing administrators and technicians to perform device setup, firmware updates, log retrieval and recovery procedures when network-based access is unavailable.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward, low-level connection that does not rely on the network, which is useful for initial provisioning and emergency access. It is compatible with standard serial console interfaces and supports reliable data transmission for CLI operations. The single-connection design simplifies cabling and reduces ports required for direct console access.

Suitable for

• Initial configuration of AUDIOCODES Mediant 500 gateways
• Firmware upgrades and device recovery
• Debugging, log access and troubleshooting via CLI
• Out-of-band management in data centers and branch sites

Key specifications

• Purpose: direct serial console connection to AUDIOCODES Mediant 500
• Connection type: single serial console link for CLI access
• Compatibility: designed for Mediant 500 gateway console port
• Use: configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting and out-of-band management

How to use

Connect the cable between a computer or console server serial port and the console port on the AUDIOCODES Mediant 500 gateway. Launch a terminal emulator on the host (for example, PuTTY, Tera Term or similar), set the appropriate serial parameters for the gateway console and open the session to access the CLI. Use the serial connection for initial setup, configuration changes, firmware upload procedures or to view system logs and diagnostic output.

Usage recommendations

Use a stable terminal emulator and confirm serial port settings before initiating a session. Keep the cable connection secure and handle with care to prevent bent pins or connector damage. For production environments, pair the cable with a labeled console server or managed out-of-band access device to maintain organized access and logging.
