Creating a Site Log

The site log provides a record of all actions related to installing and maintaining the router. Keep it in an accessible place near the chassis so that anyone who performs tasks has access to it.

Create the site log prior to installation. (See Appendix C, “Site Log” for more detailed information on the site log as well as a sample site log that can be used to make copies.)

Console Port Considerations

The Cisco ASR 901 10G router provides a single console port (labeled CONSOLE). A single RJ-45 cable is used for a console connection.

This section describes important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal—either an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software—or a modem to the console port. The console port provides access to the router either locally (using a console terminal), or remotely (using a modem).

Note Console and rollover cables are not included with the Cisco ASR 901 10G router. You can order the console cable from Cisco Systems, Inc. (Part number ACS-1900ASYN=).

Console Port Connections

The router provides an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable.

To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
