Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 Console Port
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 Console Port
The Cisco ASR 1002 embedded route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console
port labeled CON on its front panel. 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 1002 Router. The console cable kit contains:
• One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable
• 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 1 must have a console port connection (typically to a
Note
terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Connect one end of the RJ-45 cables to the serial RJ-45 port (CON) on the Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1
(see the folliwng image).
2. Run the cable up and through the cable-management bracket and connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable
to the RJ-45 adapter (see
ASR1000-RP1, on page
3. Connect the adapter to your video terminal to complete the cable connection.
4. Power on your video terminal.
5. Configure your video terminal to match the following default console port settings:
6. Go to the c_Connecting_Cables_1074149.xml to continue the installation.
