Connecting a Modem to the Auxiliary Port
This section explains how to connect a modem to the console port on the access server:
Step 1 Connect a modem to the auxiliary port using a roll-over RJ-45 cable with an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter. The adapter provided by Cisco will be labeled
“Modem.” (See Figure 3-15.)

Step 2 To configure the auxiliary port for modem operation, see the section “Modems” in
the appendix “Internetworking Primer.” Make sure that the modems and the
auxiliary port are configured for the same transmission speed (38400 baud is
normal) and hardware flow control with standard DCD and DTR operations.
