Console Port Signals

The console port is an RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the router. The console port does not
support modem control or hardware flow control and requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for the data transmission
rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate setting must match the default rate of the
console port, which is 9600 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
