Connecting an Asynchronous Modem to the Console Port

Note To connect an asynchronous modem to the console port, you must have an optional router modem cable. Contact your router vendor to order this cable.

Figure 4-11shows an asynchronous modem connected to the console port on the router. Although the figure shows a Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet router, this procedure applies to all Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers.
