Installing the CiscoAS5800 3-31
Connecting to the Router Shelf Console and Auxiliary Ports
A DCE-mode console port and a DTE-mode auxiliary port are located on the router shelf I/O
controller. The console port is a DB-25 receptacle fo r connecting a data terminal, which you use to
run the initial setup script and bring up the CiscoAS5800. The auxiliary port is a DB-25 plug for
connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or other router) to the router shelf.
(See Figure3-26.)
Note Both console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; an y device conn ected to the se
ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure th e termina l to mat ch the rout er cons ole
port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity , 2 stop bits (960 0 8N2). You need an EIA/TIA-232
DCE console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you establish normal router
operation, you can disconnect the terminal. While both the router shelf and the dial shelf have
console ports, functions for both shelves are available from the router console port.
You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are
connecting. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide tha t shipped with your
router shelf for console and auxiliary port pinouts.
