Connecting A Terminal To The Console Port - Cisco ASR 1002-X Overview And Installation

Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port

Step 9
After inserting the ground wire, leave an extra service loop in the ground lead, as shown in
Power Supply Terminal Block Ground Lead Service Loop, on page 40
to disconnect from the power supply if a great deal of strain is placed on all three leads.

Step 10
After tightening the receptacle screw for the ground, and leaving the extra service loop in the ground lead, use a cable
tie to secure the three leads to the power supply faceplate tie-wrap tab, as shown in
Supply Terminal Block Ground Lead Service Loop, on page
Step 11
Turn on the branch source breaker.
Step 12 Move the power supply Standby switch to the On (|) position. The power supply LEDs light when power is supplied
to the router.
What to do next
This completes the steps for installing the +24 VDC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router.
Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port
The integrated 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 using the console cable kit that
is included with your Cisco ASR 1002-X 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.
Note Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal
server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Perform the following procedure to connect a terminal to a console port:
