Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem
Connecting to the Console Port
To connect a console terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the
router, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Use the blue RJ-45-to-DB-9 console adapter cable to connect the router to a terminal. (See Figure 3-57
through Figure 3-60.)
For information about console port pinouts, refer to the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable
Specifications document available online and on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Note On the Cisco routers, the console port is color-coded blue.
Step 2 Configure your terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop
bits.
Note Because hardware flow control is not possible on the console port, Cisco does not recommend that
modems be connected to the console port. Modems should be connected only to the auxiliary port.
