During the initial configuration of the router, you can use only the console or AUX
port. This chapter describes how to connect the router to a local or remote
console terminal and how to set parameters at the console terminal.
To set up the local configuration environment, connect the RJ-45 connector of the
console cable to the console port on the router, and the DB-25 connector or DB-9
connector to the serial port of a PC, as shown below.

To set up the remote configuration environment, you must connect a local modem
to the serial port of a local PC. Connect a remote modem to the AUX port of the
remote router using an AUX cable. Use PSTN to connect the local and remote
