Console And Auxiliary Port Cable Connections; Connect The Router To The Network - Cisco ASR 1002 Quick Start Manual

Step 5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
Step 6
Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the
Step 7
chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.
Step 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate
chassis ground.
This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. Go to the
on page 11 for information on attaching cables.

Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections

This section describes how to attach a cable to the console or auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.
ASR 1002 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and console port to attach a modem or console terminal.
The console DCE-mode port connects a console terminal and a DTE-mode auxiliary port connects a modem or other DCE device
to your router.
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 on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router,
shielded cables must be used for the console and auxiliary port connections.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows:
Step 1
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits. See
Connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable.
