Preparing to Connect to a Network

Console Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your router comes with cables and adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port. To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB25 adapter (labeled Terminal). To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled Terminal). The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port does not support hardware flow control. For detailed informa- tion about installing a console terminal, see the section “Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem” later in this chapter. See appendix A, “Cable Specifications” for cable and port pinouts.

Auxiliary Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your router includes a cable and an adapter to connect a modem to the auxiliary port. To connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the male RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled Modem). For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the section, “Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem” later in this chapter. See appendix A, “Cable Specifications” for cable and port pinouts.
