Auxiliary Port, Console Port, and Adapter Pinouts for the Cisco CGR 2010 Router

This section explains the different ports and adapter pinouts available for the Cisco CGR 2010 router.

Auxiliary and Console Ports

The console and auxiliary ports on Cisco IOS® routers are asynchronous serial ports. The console port and the auxiliary port are configured as data terminal equipment (DTE). For Cisco 2000 Series Routers, the console and auxiliary ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Adapters are available for connections to PC terminals, modems, or other external communications equipment.

Table 3-4shows the console port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector. Any pin not referenced is not connected.
