Chapter 8 Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables This section describes how to attach a cable to the Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1 console or auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router. The Cisco ASR 1002 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and console port to attach a modem or console terminal. Caution 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.) To meet Class A emissions requirements, shielded cables must be used for the console and auxiliary port connectors. Before you can use the console interface on the router using a terminal or PC, you must perform the following steps: Step 1 Step 2 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1). Connect to the port using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable. Note For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or host, see Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.
