Installation
Console Port Connections
The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45).
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE
or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your router comes with cables and
adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running
terminal emulation software) to the console port. To connect an ASCII
terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the female
RJ-45-to-DB25 adapter (labeled Terminal). To connect a PC running terminal
emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the
female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled Terminal). The default parameters for
the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The
console port does not support hardware flow control. For detailed informa-
tion about installing a console terminal, see the section “Connecting the
Console Terminal and Modem” later in this chapter. See appendix A, “Cable
Specifications” for cable and port pinouts.
Auxiliary Port Connections
The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45)
that supports flow control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this
port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your router
includes a cable and an adapter to connect a modem to the auxiliary port. To
connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use the RJ-45 roll-over cable with the
male RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled Modem). For detailed information about
connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the section, “Connecting the
Console Terminal and Modem” later in this chapter. See appendix A, “Cable
Specifications” for cable and port pinouts.
