Connecting A Terminal To The Cisco Asr Series 1000 Route Processor Console Port - Cisco ASR 1013 Hardware Installation Manual

Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation
Step 8
Use tie wraps to secure the wires, so that the wires are not pulled from the terminal block by casual contact. Ti-wrap
studs are located below the supply terminal block.
Step 9 Replace the terminal block plastic cover, which slides over the terminal block; then tighten the screws (tighten the screw
to a torque of 5 in-lbs / 1 per.).
Step 10 Remove the tape from the circuit-breaker switch handle and move the circuit-breaker handle to the on position, if you
taped the circuit breaker.
Step 11
Switch the On/Off circuit breaker switch to the On (|) position.
What to Do Next
This completes the procedure for connecting the –48 VDC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR Series 1000 Route
Processor Console Port
The Cisco ASR 1004 route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled
CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through use of the console
cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The console cable kit contains:
• One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable
• One RJ-45 to DB-9 (female) adapter
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at
one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable
by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the
tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same
color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a route processor.
Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 must have a console port connection (typically to a
Note
terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
