RP cables are not available from Cisco, but are available from any commercial
cable vendor.
To comply with Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic
compatibility and safety, connect all console, auxiliary, Ethernet, and
BITS (PRP2) interfaces only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling.
The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both
ends.
The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal to perform the initial configuration of the router. The console port
requires an RJ-45 rollover cable.
See the "PRP Auxiliary and Console Port Connection Guidelines" section on
page 2-36 for additional information about the console port.
Refer to Figure 3-20 and use the following procedure to connect a data terminal
to the PRP console port.
Set your terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
Power off the data terminal.
Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Attach the other end of the cable to the GRP console port.
Power on the data terminal.
