Connecting The Console Terminal And Modem; Connecting To The Console Port - Cisco AS5300 Manual

Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem

Use the console terminal for local administrative access to the access server. You can only
connect a terminal to the console port. You can use the auxiliary port to connect a terminal or a
modem for remote access to the access server.

Connecting to the Console Port

To connect a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the
console port on the access server:
Step 1 Connect the terminal using an RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-25 or RJ-45-to-
DB-9 adapter. The adapters provided are labeled TERMINAL. Other types of adapters are not
included. (See .)
For additional information on rollover cable pinouts, see the appendix "."
Step 2 Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, and 2 stop bits.
