Connecting I/O Cables
Figure 2-12 Console and Auxiliary Port RJ-45 Connectors
Step 1 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, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Connecting the Fast Ethernet Management Port Cable
Figure 2-13 Installing the Fast Ethernet Management Port Cable
When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the
port operates in 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 Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps)
through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.
1 Auxiliary port 4 Cable to console terminal or DTE
2 Console port 5 Cable to modem or DCE
3 RJ-45 connector
