C. Connect a PC to the router
To use Cisco IOS software to configure the router, it must be connected to a terminal or to a
PC with terminal-emulation software. Terminal emulation software should be configured with
the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit.
Take the following steps to connect the router to one of these devices:
Step 1
Connect one end of the light-blue console cable (included) to the CONSOLE port on
the router rear panel.
Step 2
Depending on the console port connector (DB-25 or DB-9) on your terminal or PC,
connect one of the gray adapters (included) to the other end of the console cable.
Step 3
Connect the gray adapter to the DB-25 or DB-9 connector on your terminal or PC.
