Connecting A Management Ethernet Cable; Installing And Removing Sfp And Sfp+ Modules - Cisco ASR-920-8S4Z-PD Hardware Installation Manual

Connecting a Management Ethernet Cable

Step 4
To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft Windows
HyperTerminal. This software should be configured with the following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop-bit
• no flow control
Connecting a Management Ethernet Cable
Note
It is recommended that you retain the RJ-45 dust caps for the ports (RJ-45, SFP, and USB ports) that are not
used.
When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates
in the auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the
Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to
it.
However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) through
command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to the MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
• Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port
• Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port
Note
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect
the Management Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable
must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment
or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These
interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in
GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Installing and Removing SFP and SFP+ Modules

The router supports a variety of SFP and SFP+ modules, including optical and Ethernet modules. For
information on how to install and remove SFP and SFP+ modules, see the documentation for the SFP or SFP+
module at:
