Re: Devices with only USB console port - Need a Console Server Solution

[Jeremy Bresley <brez () brezworks com>]

Looks like what you want is the A920-CONS-KIT-S part.  Description on it 
is "ASR 920 Serial Console Cabling Kit"  This is a $0 item when ordered 
with the ASR920s.  The other option is the A900-CONS-KIT-U which is the 
USB-USB console kit.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr920/hardware/installation/guide/ASR920_HIG/hw_installation.html#pgfId-1199994

Shows the adapter which I'm assuming is what's included in the kit, they 
mention needing the RJ-45 to DB9 cable (normal Cisco console cable) in 
addition to this ASR9XX specific adapter.  Should be able to plug your 
normal terminal server cables into the adapter cable listed above.

Hope this is helpful.
