PRP Console Port Signals

OL-11495-01
The PRP console port is a DCE RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the
router. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control
and requires a roll-over RJ-45 cable.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for
the data transmission rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate
setting must match the default rate of the PRP console port, which is 9600 bps.
Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop
bits (9600 8N2).
Table 2-9 lists the signals used on the console port.
