Connecting the router to the network
Connecting the router to the network through an AUX cable
You need an AUX cable when configuring a router with the remote modem dial-up approach.
An AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector and at the other
end is a DB-9 (male) connector. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the AUX port of the router and the DB-9
(male) connector into the DB-9 (female) port of the modem. An AUX cable is the same as a console cable.
For more information, see
and
.
To connect the AUX port:
1.
Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the router.
2.
Plug the DB-9 (male) connector at the other end into the serial port of the modem.
Connecting the router to the network through an Ethernet
twisted pair cable
The 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports of the router support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are
connected to the network through category-5 or above twisted pairs that are equipped with RJ-45
connectors.
No Ethernet twisted pair cables are shipped with the router. Prepare them yourself.
To connect a 10/100/1000BASE-T port:
1.
Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) to be
connected on the router.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port of the peer device.
Connecting the router to the network through an optical fiber
Use an optical fiber to connect an optical fiber port, for example, XFP fiber port or SFP fiber port, on the
router to the network. You must install a transceiver module to the router, and then insert the fiber
connector to the module.
Introduction to fiber connector
Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They
allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging
and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible. Among
various fiber connectors, only the LC connector is described here.
