OL-17436-01
Purpose
Identifies the RP or DRP to which you must connect in the next step.
This step is not required when the router hosts only one RP.
•
On a Cisco CRS-1 router, the active RP or DRP is identified by a
•
lighted Primary LED on the RP front panel.
On a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, the active RP is identified by the
•
alphanumeric display: ACTV RP.
Establishes a communications path to the router.
During the initial setup, you can communicate with the router only
•
through the Console port of the active RP.
The router Console port is designed for a serial cable connection to a
•
terminal or a computer that is running a terminal emulation program.
The terminal settings are:
•
Bits per second: 9600/9600
–
Data bits: 8
–
Parity: None
–
Stop bit: 2
–
Flow control: None
–
(Optional) Prepares a computer for router communications.
• The step is not required if you are connecting through a terminal.
• Terminals send keystrokes to and receive characters from another
device. If you connect a computer to the Console port, you must use a
terminal emulation program to communicate with the router. For
instructions on using the terminal emulation program, see the
documentation for that program.

started recently, give the router more time to complete the initial boot
procedure, then press Enter.
