Connect the Router to the Network | Cisco Systems ASR 1004 specification

Step 5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.

Step 6 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.

Step 7 Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.

Step 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.

This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. Go to the “Connect the Router to the Network” section on page 12 for information on attaching cables.

Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections

This section describes how to attach a cable to the console or auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The Cisco ASR1004 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and console port to attach a modem or console terminal.

The console DCE-mode port connects a console terminal and a DTE-mode auxiliary port connects a modem or other DCE device to your router.

Note Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)

Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits.
