Connecting the Console Port

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Statement 1001

The Cisco ASR 901 router has a single console port that can function in DTE mode:

•DTE-mode console (terminal) port for connecting a console terminal

Note The console port functions are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to the console port must be cabled for asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)

The Cisco ASR 901 router uses RJ-45 ports for console port function.
