Connecting to the Console Port and Auxiliary Ports

This section provides the information to connect a console to the router. Both Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals are active when the system is running. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control. The console port requires a straight-through EIA/TIA-232 cable.

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 3-8.

Note To comply with Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect all console, auxiliary, Ethernet, and BITS interfaces only to intrabuilding or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.

Check your terminal’s documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal you plan to use. If your documentation does not specify settings use the following terminal settings:

1.Baud to 9600

2.Data bits to 8

3.Parity to no parity

4.Stop bits to 2

The console port requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
