Verifying Router Operation

To connect the console port on the router to an asynchronous modem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 end of the router modem cable to the console port.

Step 2 Connect the DB-25 connector end of the router modem cable to an available port on the asynchronous modem.

Step 3 Connect one end of the RJ-11 telephone cable to a wall jack, and then connect the other end of the RJ-11 cable to the modem.

Step 4 (Optional) Connect one end of an RJ-11 telephone cable to a telephone, fax, or other device, and then connect the other end of the RJ-11 cable to the modem.

Verifying Router Operation

To verify that all devices are properly connected to the router, turn on all the connected devices, and then using Table 4-1, verify correct router operation by checking the LEDs.
