Cable Management System
If you have equipped your ASR 5500 chassis and MIO/UMIO cards with the Cable Management System,
refer to the Routing and Securing Network Cables section of the Cable Management System Installation
appendix for additional information.
Console Port
The Console port (logical Port 3) is an RJ45 RS-232 interface on an MIO or UMIO card that provides access
to the command line interface (CLI). The interface communicates at 9600 to 115200 bps; the default is 115,200
bps.
A connection to the Console port is required if you wish to view boot messages whenever the ASR 5500
chassis is powered up or rebooted. Only the Console port on the Master MIO or UMIO supports logs and
CLI sessions. The Console port on the Standby MIO or UMIO is inactive.
