Step 3
Connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the DB-9 end of the terminal.
Step 4
To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal. This
software should be configured with the following parameters:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
no parity
•
1 stop-bit
•
no flow control
Connect a Management Ethernet Cable
When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates
in the auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the
Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to
it.
However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) through
command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to the MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
•
Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port
•
Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port
