Connect the Console Port

The system console port on the RSP is a DB-25 receptacle DCE port for connecting a data terminal, which allows you to conﬁgure and manage the system. The console port is labeled Console.

Step 1 Connect the console cable from the terminal to the console port on the RSP.

Step 2 Check your terminal’s documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal you will be using.

Note The baud rate of the terminal you are using must match the default baud rate (9600 baud).

Step 3 Set up the terminal as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits (9600, 8N2).

Connect the Auxiliary Ports

The auxiliary port on the RSP is an ETA/TIA DTE DB-25 plug to which you can attach external equipment in order to access the router from the network. The port is located next to the console port on the RSP and is labeled AUX.

Step 1 Connect the cable from the auxiliary device to the auxiliary port on the RSP.

Step 2 Check your terminal’s documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal.

Note The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud).

Step 3 Set up the terminal as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits (9600, 8N2).
