Required Tools and Equipment for Installation and Maintenance
Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Module Baud Rates
The following baud-rate limitations apply to the slow-speed serial interfaces found in the
asynchronous/synchronous serial modules:
•
Asynchronous interface—Maximum baud rate is 115.2 kbps.
•
Synchronous interface—Maximum baud rate is 128 kbps full duplex.
Required Tools and Equipment for Installation and Maintenance
You need the following tools and equipment to install and upgrade the router and its components:
•
ESD-preventive cord and wrist strap
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
Phillips screwdrivers: small, 3/16-in. (4 to 5 mm) and medium, 1/4-in. (6 to 7 mm)
•
Screws that fit your rack
In addition, depending on the type of modules you plan to use, you might need the following equipment
to connect a port to an external network:
•
Cables for connection to the WAN and LAN ports (dependent on configuration).
Note
For more information on cable specifications, see
at www.cisco.com.
•
Ethernet hub or PC with a network interface card for connection to an Ethernet (LAN) port.
•
Console terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation
software) configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and no parity.
•
Modem for connection to the auxiliary port for remote administrative access (optional).
•
Data service unit (DSU) or channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) as appropriate for
serial interfaces.
•
External CSU for any CT1/PRI modules without a built-in CSU.
