Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation
Connecting Console and Auxiliary Port Cables
Connecting 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 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).
Step 2 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, refer to the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.
