Connecting A Terminal To The Cisco Asr Series 1000 Rp1 Console Port - Cisco ASR 1000 Series Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation
Step 11 Switch the On/Off circuit breaker switch to the On (|) position.
This completes the procedure for connecting the DC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR Series 1000 RP1
Console Port
The Cisco ASR 1004 router 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 through use
of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The console cable kit
contains:
•
•
•
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.
