Ethernet Connections

Two Fast Ethernet (FE) ports are RJ-45 ports located on the rear panel of the chassis: FE0 and FE1
(selectable). To configure the Ethernet ports, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal
Gateway Software Configuration Guide. Both ports use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable and require
Category 5 cable. The maximum segment distance is 328 feet (100 meters). UTP cables look like the
cables used for ordinary telephones; however, UTP cables meet certain electrical standards that
telephone cables do not. Cables are not included.

Console and Auxiliary Ports

The chassis includes an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The console and
auxiliary ports provide access either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). This
section discusses important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal (an
ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port or modem to the
auxiliary port.
Console Port
The chassis includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable
and the adapter used, this port appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications
equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable. Your chassis arrives with cables and adapters to connect
a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port.
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 detailed information about installing a console terminal, see Chapter 3,
and Cisco AS5400HPX Universal
port pinouts.
