Connecting to a Network
Connecting to a WAN
Table 3-2 summarizes the WAN and voice connections for the Cisco 2600 series routers. For more
information about connecting and configuring WAN and voice cards, refer to the online document Cisco
WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide, available online at Cisco.com and the
Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router.
Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem
Your router includes asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. These ports provide administrative
access to your router either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem).
Cisco provides cables and adapters to connect your router to a PC or modem. These will include:
– One RJ-45 console cable (Blue)
– One RJ-45 auxiliary cable (Black)
– One RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (Labeled TERMINAL)
– One RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (Labeled MODEM)
or
– One RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable (Blue)
– One RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter cable (Black)
Identifying a Rollover Cable
Use a rollover cable to connect to the asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. You can identify
a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables side-by-side, with
the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color
as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure 3-26.)
