Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco XR 12410 Router
Connecting PRP Route Processor Cables
Connecting to the PRP Auxiliary Port
The auxiliary port on the PRP is a DTE, RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or another router) to the router. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports hardware flow control and modem control.
See the “PRP Auxiliary and Console Port Connections” section on page 2-22 for additional information about the auxiliary port.
Refer to Figure 3-28and use the following procedure to connect an asynchronous serial device to the PRP auxiliary port.
Step 1 Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Step 2 Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.
Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the PRP auxiliary port.
Step 4 Power on the asynchronous serial device.
Connecting to the PRP Ethernet Ports
Two RJ-45 Ethernet interface receptacles on the PRP provide media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet ports. These connections support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards. The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is autosensing by default and is user-configurable.
The RJ-45 receptacles on the PRP provide two physical connection options for Ethernet interfaces. To connect cables to the PRP Ethernet interfaces (ports labeled ETH0 and ETH1), attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to a RJ-45 receptacle on the PRP.
