Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem

Your router has asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. These ports provide administrative access to your router either locally (with a console terminal or PC) or remotely (with a modem).

Cisco provides the following cables and adapters for connecting your router to a console terminal, PC, or modem:

•One console adapter cable (RJ-45-to-DB-9, blue)

•One modem adapter cable (RJ-45-to-DB-25, black)

This section describes how to connect a console terminal or PC to the console port, and how to connect a modem to the auxiliary port. It contains the following sections:

•Connecting to the Console Port, page 3-44

•Connecting to the Auxiliary Port, page 3-46
