Installing the Router

Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem

Your router includes an asynchronous serial console and an auxiliary port. The console and auxiliary
ports provide access to the router either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem).

Connecting to the Console Port

Take the following steps to connect a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation
software) to the console port on the router:
Step 1 Connect the terminal using the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable (looks like a telephone
cable) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled "TERMINAL") included with the
router. (See Figure 3-16.)
Step 2 Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,
and 2 stop bits.
