Auxiliary Port Connections - Cisco 4000 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Network Cabling Specifications
For operation with a Microsoft Windows OS version older than Windows 7, the Cisco Windows USB
console driver must be installed on a PC connected to the console port. If the driver is not installed,
appropriate prompts guide you through a simple installation process. For detailed information about
installing the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver, see
Driver" section on page
The Cisco Windows USB Console Driver allows plugging and unplugging the USB cable from the
console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. No special drivers are needed for
Mac OS X or Linux.
At a time, only one console port can be active. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the
RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45
port becomes active.
Baud rates for the USB console port are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.

Auxiliary Port Connections

The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control.
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the
cable.
For connection to a modem, you must use an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter cable. This cable is orderable
separately along with a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter.
For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the
Terminal or Modem" section on page
For cable and port pinouts, see the
