PRP Port Connection Guidelines

PRP Console Port Signals

The PRP console port is a DCE RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the

router. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control

and requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.

Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for

the data transmission rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate

setting must match the default rate of the PRP console port, which is 9600

bps.

Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600

bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop

bits (9600 8N2).

Table 2-3 lists the signals used on the console port.
