What to Do Next
This completes the procedure for connecting the DC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP Console
Port
The Cisco ASR 1013 route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled
CON on its front panel as shown in Figure 194: Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Console Port
Connectors, on page 403, callout 5. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through use
of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1013 Router. The console cable kit contains:
•
One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable
•
One RJ-45 to DB-25 (female) adapter
•
One RJ-45 to DB-9 (female) adapter
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at
one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable
by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the
tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same
color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a route processor.
Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal
server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Note
Users using the console port to access the router are automatically directed to the IOS command-line interface,
by default.
If a user is trying to access the router through the console port and sends a break signal (a break signal can
be sent by entering Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Shift-6, or by entering the send break command at the Telnet prompt) before
connecting to the IOS command-line interface, the user is directed into diagnostic mode by default if the
non-RPIOS sub-packages can be accessed.
These settings can be changed by configuring a transport map for the console port and applying that transport
map to the console interface.
