Attaching the Interface Cables
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Connecting the Supervisor Engine Console Port
This section describes how to connect to the supervisor engine console port from a terminal or modem.
The console port on the supervisor engine allows you to perform the following functions:
•
Configure the Cisco 7600 series router from the CLI
•
Monitor network statistics and errors
•
Configure SNMP agent parameters
•
Download software updates to the Cisco 7600 series router or distribute software images residing in
Flash memory to attached devices
The console port, located on the front panel of the supervisor engine, is shown in
