Juniper SSG5 Console Connection Adapter
I need to connect to the console port of my SSG5. The first adapter I need is the RJ45 to DB9. Will any RJ45 to DB9 adapter do or do I need the Juniper part number (JX-CONN-DB9)?
I do not have a serial port on my laptop. So, I will need a USB to Serial adapter. Any recommendations for that type of adapter as well?

Yes I normally would use 1. But, there is a wrong IP address in the admin ip management restriction. The bad IP is preventing me from using the normal WEB UI or SSH. So, I am locked out. I have PUTTY to use for the software.
I just wanted to know if there is anything special I need to know about the adapters.

1. Ethernet connection from trusted port to workstation (recommended method) or
2. Ethernet cable to DB9 connector on workstation.
Number 2 is not recommended and you would need software to use the serial port.
So why not just use method 1? That is how we configure our Netscreen 5GT and SSG5 machines.
