Connecting the Console Port

Step 1

Locate the flash memory card slot on the cable-side of the router.

Step 2

Loosen the captive thumb screw. (Be careful not to cross-thread or over-tighten the thumb screw.)

Step 3

Pull the cover open, and pull the cover tab from the hinge.

Step 4

Gently push the flash memory card to eject it. Place it in an anti-static bag to protect it from static discharge.

Step 5

Push the replacement card into the slot, and press it firmly in place. The card is keyed so that you cannot insert it the

wrong way.

Step 6

Place the flash card slot cover tabs into the hinge.

Step 7

Close the cover, and hand-tighten the screw.

To configure the router through the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI), you must establish a connection

between the router console port and either a terminal or a PC.

To connect a PC terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and either the

RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter or the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL ).

The default parameters for the console port are:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• No parity generated or checked

• 1 stop bit

• No Flow Control

This section describes the console port signaling and cabling with a DB-9 adapter. See the following figures.
