Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router Connecting I/O Controller, NPE-G1, or NPE-G2 Cables Note Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.) The I/O controller uses two types of physical media for console port and auxiliary port connections. Table 3-13 describes the I/O controller console and auxiliary port media type for each model. The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 use RJ-45 media for console port and auxiliary port connections. See Table 3-18 for console port pinout information and Table 3-19 for auxiliary port pinout information. Table 3-13 Console and Auxiliary Port Physical Media Model C7200-I/O-GE+E C7200-I/O-2FE/E C7200-I/O-FE C7200-I/O C7200-I/O-FE-MII Console Port RJ-45 port RJ-45 port DB-25 port DB-25 port DB-25 port Auxiliary Port RJ-45 port RJ-45 port DB-25 connector DB-25 connector DB-25 connector Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2). After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal. DB-25 Port Cabling and Pinouts The DB-25 ports and connectors conform to the EIA/TIA-232 serial data transfer standard for communications between DTE and DCE equipment. Figure 3-28 shows console and auxiliary port connections for DB-25 physical media. OL-5013-09 Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide 3-35
