Connect to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device

To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the CONSOLE port on the craft interface. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the appropriate AUX/MODEM port on the craft interface. Both ports accept an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with the router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. See “Cable Specifications for Routing Engine Management Interfaces” on page 52. To connect a management console or auxiliary device, follow this procedure:

1.Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.

2.Plug the female end (shown in Figure 23) of the provided console cable into the CONSOLE or AUX/MODEM port (see Figure 21).

3.Using a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the screws on the connector.

4.Attach the other end of the cable to the console or auxiliary device.

Connect PIC Cables

Now connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to the PICs, follow this procedure (see Figure 24, which shows a fiber-optic PIC):

1.Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the PIC. For cable specifications, see the M5 and M10 Internet Routers PIC Guide.
