Installing the Router 3-19
Connecting to the Console Port
Connecting to the Console Port
Take the following steps to connect a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal
emulation software) to the console port on the router:
Step 1
Connect the terminal using the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable (looks
like a telephone cable) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter
(labeled TERMINAL) included with the router. (See Figure 3-15.)
Step 2
Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud,
8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
For information on console port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access
Router Cabling Specifications on the Documentation CD-ROM that accompanied your
router package, and on Cisco Connection Online.
