Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port

Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port

The router arrives with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters you need to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or modem to the router. The console and auxiliary cable kit includes:

•RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable

•RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled MODEM)

Note For more information, see the “Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts” section on page C-2.

Connecting to the Console Port

Use the console terminal for local administrative access to the router. You can connect a terminal to the console port only.

To connect the console port to a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software), use the following procedure:

Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 rollover cable to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL).

Step 2 Connect the other end of the rollover cable directly to the console port on the router. (See Figure 3-11.)
