Step 2 Run the other end of the crossover cable through the square hole at the left front side of the chassis, and connect it to the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter.

Step 3 Connect the adapter to the serial port on the modem to complete the auxiliary port cable connection. Step 4 Power on the modem.

Step 5 Make sure that the modem and auxiliary port on the router are configured for the same transmission speed (38.4 Kbps and 56 Kbps are typical). Configure the modem for auto-answer and for hardware flow control using the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals.

Step 6 Go to the “Connecting Network Management Cables” section on page 3-52 to continue the installation.
