Livebox Business Console Access

Hello,

I have a functional Livebox Business 150.

I want to use it to set up a lab, but I can't access the interface, either via web or console. The box doesn't seem to be configured by default to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

I tried connecting to it by plugging in a PC with a static IP, but I'm unable to communicate with it, let alone access the interface.

The console cable is specific to Cisco equipment, and all the Ethernet cables used are functional.

Do I need a console cable other than the Cisco one or an Orange proprietary cable to access the router via CLI?

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Hello,

If I remember correctly, the livebox business were originally one@ccess equipment.

Having worked with both oneaccess and cisco in another life, I can tell you that the console cable is different between the two; they reversed the wiring, unlike many others that kept the Cisco wiring.

I have a few oneaccess console cables left; we can get in touch directly if you want me to send you one.

I don't know what the factory config was for Orange; I only knew them with SFR and Bouygues, but it seems to me that they didn't have a default IP address.

And there you go ....

But goodness, those line breaks are so annoying!!

Hello,

These Livebox are indeed produced by One Access.

I suppose the console cable needed to configure them is not available for retail sale.

However, I did find this cable (DSD TECH SH-RJ45E with CH340C chip) on Amazon that seems to be more versatile than my Cisco serial. But I'm not sure it will work either.

Otherwise, I would indeed like one of your One Access cables.

I doubt it will work directly, here’s what I have, still wrapped, but it’s not usb: rj45/db9f, you will need a usb/db9m converter:

Hello,

We need a general DB9 to USB converter. I had a similar case with Nortel switches where a mini DB9 converter was needed between the two DB9 ports with USB on the back.

I’d like your One Access cable; I’ll contact you by email to see how we can proceed.
