Connecting to the Console and Auxiliary Ports

PRP Console and Auxiliary Ports

The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled Console, as shown in Figure 3-9. Before connecting the console port, check the documentation for your terminal to determine the baud rate.

If your documentation does not specify settings, use the following terminal settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port requires a rollover RJ-45 cable.
