Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
Connecting Route Processor Cables
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 “Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-21 for additional
information about the console port.
See Figure 3-10 and use this procedure to connect a data terminal to the RP console port:
Step 1 Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200
8N1).
Step 2 Power off the data terminal.
Step 3 Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Step 4 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.
Step 5 Power on the data terminal.
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 “Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-21 for additional
information about the auxiliary port.
See Figure 3-10 and use this procedure to connect an asynchronous serial device to the RP auxiliary port:
Step 1 Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Step 2 Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.
Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP auxiliary port.
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 “Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-24 for additional
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.
