I haven't physically looked at a D class in a while, so if my suggestion doesn't work and no one else answers you, I will have a look at work tomorrow and reply.
Get yourself a Null modem cable. Plug one end into the D class where the console is/was plugged in. Plug the other end into a laptop or PC. You can then use a program like Reflections on the PC/laptop and it can act as your temporary console. You may need a funky connector on the D class side, I can't recall if it has a standard serial port or not. I know it is possible though as we have a few D classes at work plugged into our Digi so they must has some sort of serial connection.
