Connecting the Console Port
To configure the router through the Cisco IOS CLI, you must establish a connection between the router console
port and either a terminal or a PC. The console port is located on the router interior is labeled CONSOLE.
The Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router has a single console port that functions as a
DTE-mode console (terminal) port for connecting a console terminal. Use this port to connect a PC terminal,
enabling you to log directly into the router system software to perform configuration or other commands.
The console port functions are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to the console port must
be cabled for asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for
example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
Note
The Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router uses a RJ-45 port for the console port function.
Complete the following steps to connect a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console
port on the router:
Procedure
Step 1
Connect the terminal using an RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-25 or RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled
TERMINAL) to the console port. For cable pinouts, see
Connecting Console Port and Pinouts.
The RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (Cisco part number 29-0810-01) can be purchased from Cisco Systems,
Inc.
Note
Step 2
Configure the terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
Hardware flow control is not possible on the console
port.
Note
Connecting Network Cables
This section describes how to connect the following router interfaces:
Connecting Gigabit Ethernet Interface Cables
The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 (Cat5), shielded twisted pair
(STP) cable.
The Cisco ASR 901S Aggregation Services Router is not shipped with Category 5 STP cables; these
cables are available commercially and need to be procured.
