Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router
Connecting I/O Controller, NPE-G1, or NPE-G2 Cables
Figure 3-29 Console and Auxiliary Port RJ-45 Connector
Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports. Figure 3-29 shows the RJ-45 console and
auxiliary port connections.
An auxiliary and console port cable and adapter kit is available from Cisco Systems (Product Number
ACS-2500ASYN=).
Table 3-16 describes the cable and adapter configurations that can be used to
connect terminals and modems to the console or the auxiliary asynchronous serial port.
Note Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these
ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial
device; for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 use RJ-45 media for console port and auxiliary port connections.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port
as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2). After you establish normal router
operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Note When connecting to an auxiliary port on a Cisco 7200 VXR router, the port will not function at baud
rates higher than 19.2k. If the baud rate on the connecting device is set higher than 19.2k, either garbled
text or nothing will be displayed on the screen.
