AUX port
1) Introduction
The AUX port is an RS232 asynchronous serial port used for remote configuration or dialup backup.
You need to connect the local modem to the remote modem through the PSTN to reach the remote
device for remote system debugging, configuration, maintenance, and management. In case that the
console port is faulty, the AUX port can be connected to a terminal as a backup port of the console port.
For details, refer to Chapter 8 "Troubleshooting."
