Installing the Router 3-19

Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem

Your router includes an asynchronous serial console and an auxiliary port. The console and

auxiliary ports provide access to the router either locally (with a console terminal) or

remotely (with a modem).

Connecting to the Console Port

Take the following steps to connect a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal

emulation software) to the console port on the router:

Step 1 Connect the terminal using the thin, ﬂat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable (looks

like a telephone cable) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter

(labeled “TERMINAL”) included with the router. (See Figure 3-16.)

Step 2 Conﬁgure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data

bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
