Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation

Connecting Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router has a DCE-mode console port for connecting a console terminal and a
DTE-mode auxiliary port for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as another router) to your
chassis.

Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these
Note
ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial
device; for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port.
For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see

port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Port Cable

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the
port operates in 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 Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
