Power, Cable, and Antenna Connection Procedures
Console Port Connections
The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and
the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable.
Your router is supplied with an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable for connecting to a PC that is running
terminal emulation software.
To connect the router to an ASCII terminal, use the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable and a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter.
The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The
console port does not support hardware flow control. For detailed information about installing a console
terminal, see the
For cable and port pinouts, see the online document

Connecting to the Console Port
If a console terminal or PC is connected to the console port, you can configure the router locally. Follow
these steps to connect a console terminal or PC that is running HyperTerminal or similar terminal
emulation software to the console port on the router:
Use the blue RJ-45-to-DB-9 console cable to connect the router to a terminal.
Step 1
Note
Configure your terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud (default), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
Step 2
and no parity; set flow control to "none."
Note
Auxiliary Port Connections
The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control.
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the
cable.
Your router is supplied with a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter for connecting to a modem.
For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the
Terminal or Modem" section on page

"Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem" section on page
On the Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers, the console port is color-coded blue.
Because hardware flow control is not supported on the console port, do not connect modems to
the console port. Connect modems only to the auxiliary port.
