Connecting GRP Route Processor Cables
This section describes how to connect cables to the console, auxiliary, and
Ethernet ports on the GRP. The console and auxiliary ports are both asynchronous
serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous
transmission. For example, most modems are asynchronous devices.
Figure 3-18 shows an example of a data terminal and modem connections.

Caution The ports labeled Ethernet, 10BASE-T, Token Ring, Console, and AUX are safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to
other SELV circuits.
Note RP cables are not available from Cisco, but are available from any commercial
cable vendor.
