Step8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate

chassis ground.

This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. Go to the “Connect the Router to the Network” section

on page 13 for information on attaching cables.

This section describes how to attach a cable to the console or auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1006 Router. The Cisco

The console DCE-mode port connects a console terminal and a DTE-mode auxiliary port connects a modem or other DCE device

to your router.

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.)

Step1 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, 1 stop bits. See Figure8 for console and auxiliary port connector locati on.

Step2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Note For console and auxiliary port pinouts, see Appendix A, Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers Specifications, in the Cisco ASR

1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Hardware Installation and Initial Configuration Guide.

Before you can use the console interface on the router using a terminal or PC, you must perform the following steps:

Step1 Configure your terminal emulation software with the following settings: 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 data bits, No

parity, one stop bit, No flow control.

Note For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or host, refer

to the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.

Step2 Connect a terminal or PC to the console port using the cable and adapters provided in the accessory kit that shipped

with your Cisco ASR 1006 Router:

–

Place the console port mode switch in the in position (factory default).
