Console Port Connections; Auxiliary Port Connections - Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Hardware Installation Manual

Console and Auxiliary Port Considerations

Console Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable
and the adapter used, this port will appear as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications
equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable.
To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). To connect a PC running terminal emulation software
to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled
TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2
stop bits. The console port does not support hardware flow control. For instructions on installing a
console terminal, see the
page
For cable and port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications.

Auxiliary Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow
control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as either a DTE or DCE
device at the end of the cable.
To connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use an RJ-45 rollover cable with the male RJ-45-to-DB-25
adapter (labeled MODEM). For instructions on connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the
"Connecting the Console (Terminal) and Auxiliary (Modem) Ports" section on page
For cable and port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications.
