Connecting to the Network and Powering Up the Router

Connecting the Console

If your router is not already conﬁgured, use the console cable in the console cable kit

provided with your router to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal

emulation software that supports EIA/TIA-232). The console cable kit contains an

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter.

To connect a console, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the supplied roll-over console cable (RJ-45 to RJ-45) to the console port

on the router. (See Figure 2-13.)

Figure 2-13 Connecting to the Console Port

Step 2

Connect the other end of the console cable to an ASCII terminal or PC. The ASCII

terminal or PC port might require an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter. An

RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, labeled “Terminal,” is provided with the router. Other

types of adapters are not included.

Step 3 Set your terminal or PC terminal emulation software to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no

parity, and 2 stop bits.
