Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports. Figure 3-29shows the RJ-45 console and auxiliary port connections.

An auxiliary and console port cable and adapter kit is available from Cisco Systems (Product Number ACS-2500ASYN=). Table 3-16describes the cable and adapter configurations that can be used to connect terminals and modems to the console or the auxiliary asynchronous serial port.

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.)

The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 use RJ-45 media for console port and auxiliary port connections.

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, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2). After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Note When connecting to an auxiliary port on a Cisco 7200 VXR router, the port will not function at baud rates higher than 19.2k. If the baud rate on the connecting device is set higher than 19.2k, either garbled text or nothing will be displayed on the screen.
