Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Connecting to the RP Console Port

The system console port on the RP is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the
initial configuration of the router. The console port requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
See the
information about the console port.
See
Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200
Step 1
8N1).
Power off the data terminal.
Step 2
Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Step 3
Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.
Step 4
Power on the data terminal.
Step 5

Connecting to the RP Auxiliary Port

The auxiliary port on the RP is a RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other data communication
equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RP. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports
hardware flow control and modem control.
See the
information about the auxiliary port.
See
Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Step 1
Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.
Step 2
Attach the other end of the cable to the RP auxiliary port.
Step 3
Step 4 Power on the asynchronous serial device.

Connecting to the RP Ethernet Management Ports

To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach Category 5 UTP cables directly to the
MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RP.
See the
information about the Ethernet management LAN ports.
Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from external commercial cable
vendors. Use cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards.
