Cisco 1750 Router Hardware Installation Guide
78-6169-02
Optional Installation Steps
Connecting a PC
If you want to configure the router through the Cisco IOS command-line interface
(CLI), you must connect the router console port to a terminal or PC. The cable and
adapter required for this connection are included with the router.
To configure the router with a PC, the PC must have some type of terminal
emulation software installed. The software should be configured with the
following parameters: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide for detailed
information about configuring the router using Cisco IOS software.
Follow these steps to connect the router to a terminal or PC:
Step 1 Connect the light blue console cable to the blue Console port on the router, as
shown in Figure 5.
Step 2 Use the console adapter to connect the other end of the cable to the terminal or
PC. If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not fit the adapter included
with the router, you must provide the correct adapter for that port.
