Connecting the Console Port
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
The Cisco ASR 901 router has a single console port that can function in DTE mode:
• DTE-mode console (terminal) port for connecting a console terminal
Note The console port functions are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to the console port must
be cabled for asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for
example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
The Cisco ASR 901 router uses RJ-45 ports for console port function.
