RP cables are not available from Cisco, but are available from any commercial
cable vendor.
To comply with the intra-building lightning surge requirements of
GR-1089-CORE, Issue II, Revision 01, February 1999, you must use a shielded
cable when connecting to the console, auxiliary, and Ethernet ports. The shielded
cable is terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable shield
material tied to both connectors.
The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal to perform the initial configuration of the router. The console port
requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
See the "PRP Auxiliary and Console Port Connections" section on page 2-22
additional information about the console port.
Refer to Figure 3-28 and use the following procedure to connect a data terminal
to the PRP console port.
Set your terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
Power off the data terminal.
Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Attach the other end of the cable to the PRP console port.
Power on the data terminal.
