Just some follow up on this one. I have also posed in the C-NSP list
Yes you do need to have this kit to have serial console, No a normal USB-DB9 Console adapters do not work.
Which could be because the driver for that particular Console adapters is missing. Or even that the driver is there, but recognizing specific Cisco device IDs only. As you are probably aware, there are no standard USB-DB9 Console adapters. They are all vendor specific. But the cloning industry has created a few semi-standards based on specific chipsets.
Here are some pictures of the ASR920 Console kit A920-CONS-KIT-S
No inside pictures :) Assuming that this is really an USB device, and that the console port is really an USB host port, it would be useful to know the USB decriptors of the device. You wouldn't be willing to connect it to a Linux PC and run "lsusb -vd", would you? Bjørn
