Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

This section describes how to attach a cable to the Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1 console or auxiliary ports
on the Cisco ASR 1001 Router. The Cisco ASR 1001 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and
console port to attach a console terminal.
Note Out of Band (OOB) or modem connection in the AUX ILIARY and/ CONSOLE ports, regardless of the
