The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled Console, as
shown in Figure 3-9. Before connecting the console port, check the
documentation for your terminal to determine the baud rate.
If your documentation does not specify settings, use the following terminal
settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port
requires a rollover RJ-45 cable.

The console and auxiliary ports are both asynchronous serial ports; any devices
connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.
Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for example, most
modems are asynchronous devices.
