Connecting the console cable
Follow these steps to connect the router to a console terminal:
Step 1: Select a console terminal.
It can be a standard ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port, or more commonly, a PC.
Step 2: Connect the console cable.
Power down the router and the console terminal, connect the RS232 serial port on the console terminal
to the console port on the router through the console cable.
Verify the connection and power up the devices. The console terminal shows the startup information of
the router if the connection is correct.
Fixed Interfaces
Ethernet Interface
Ethernet interface
MSR 30 Series provide fixed Ethernet interfaces, the MSR 30-16 provide two fixed FE interfaces, the
MSR 30-20 provides two fixed GE interfaces and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides two fixed Combo
interface. In addition, MSR 30 Series Routers provide SIC and DSIC slots.. The MSR 30-16/30-20
provides MIM slots and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides MIM slots and DMIM slots. These SIC and MIM
slots can expand Ethernet interface card and interface module. For the expansion rules, refer to MSR
Series Routers Interface Card and Interface Module Manual. The following table describes Ethernet
interface attributes.
