Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter1 Preparing for Installation
CiscoASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines
Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines
The RP has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ-45 connection ports (Figure1-23):
•Console port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a data terminal device to the router, which you need
to perform the initial configuration of the router.
•Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.
Note The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to
these ports are capable of asynchronous transmission.
1PPS Connector SMB 1PPS Input or Output for GPS Synchronization. This
signal can provide output as well from Cisco ASR
9001 Router. Signal type is square wave.
SYNC Ports (SYNC
0/SYNC 1)
RJ45 Used as BITS or DTI (one at a time) Input/Output Port
based on the configuration used. CAT5 Ethernet cable
can be used for DTI. In DTI mode link resembles an
Ethernet (802.3) 10BaseT link. Signal type depends
on the mode such as B8ZS for T1, HDB3 for E1,
Manchester Coded Data for DTI, Sinusoidal for
6.3128 Out.
CONSOLE Port RJ45 Local Craft Terminal for connecting the box with
terminal. Used to command the CPU and to collect
CPU log. This console port operates at default 115200
baud rate. Signal type is RS232.
AUX Port RJ45 Local Craft Terminal with modem handshaking
signals. This port operates at default 115200 baud rate.
Signal type is RS232.
Management LAN Ports
(MGT LAN 0/1)
RJ45 Management Port. It is a tri speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
Ethernet port with auto negotiation enabled.
Connection through CAT5E cable. Signal type is
8B/10B for 1G, MLT3 for 100 Mbps, Manchester
coded for 10 Mbps.
USB Port USB TYPE-A
Receptacle
For connecting USB Device. This port can be used to
upload installable modules, temporary binaries,
scripts etc through USB disk. Also, it can be used to
transfer router log from the internal eUSB to the
external memory stick. Signal type is NRZI.
CLUSTER Ports (0/1) SFP For Cascading two Cisco ASR 9001 Router systems.
The pinout and signal level is as per the SFP standard.
This supports copper/optical SFP modules.
Fixed SFP+ Ports (0/1/2/3) SFP+ Fixed ports include 4X10G SFP+ ports and supports
20X1G, 4X10G and 2X10G ports through Ethernet
Plugs.
