OL-11495-01
This section describes how to connect cables to the console, auxiliary, and
Ethernet ports on the GRP. The console and auxiliary ports are both asynchronous
serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous
transmission. For example, most modems are asynchronous devices.
Figure 3-18
shows an example of a data terminal and modem connections.
The ports labeled Ethernet, 10BASE-T, Token Ring, Console, and AUX are safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to
other SELV circuits.
RP cables are not available from Cisco, but are available from any commercial
cable vendor.
