Chapter 12 Cisco ASR 1001 Router Overview and Installation
Connecting the Shared Port Adapter Cables
Connecting the Shared Port Adapter Cables
The instructions for connecting the cables for the shared port adapter installed in the Cisco ASR 1001
Router are contained in the respective configuration documents for each port adapter. For example, if
you are connecting the optical fiber cables for the PA-POS-OC3 port adapter, see
PA-POS-OC3 Port
Adapter Installation and Configuration
at the following location:

Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables
This section describes how to attach a cable to the Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1 console or auxiliary
ports on the Cisco ASR 1001 Router. The Cisco ASR 1001 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary
port and console port to attach a console terminal.
Caution
To meet Class A emission requirements, shielded cables must be used for the console and auxiliary port
connectors.
Before you can use the console interface on the router using a terminal or PC, you must perform the
following steps:
Step 1
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console
port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2
Connect to the port using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable.
Note
For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or
host, see
Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide
.
Step 3
After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Management Ethernet Port Cable Connection
Caution
To comply with Class A emissions requirements, a shielded Ethernet cable must be used for the
connection.
To use the Management Ethernet interface on the router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Insert an Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the MGMT ETHERNET port (see
Figure 12-7
).
Step 2
Insert the other end of the RJ-45 cable to your management device or network.
