I/O Controller Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections

Note

Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable

of asynchronous transmission.

1. Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows: 9600

baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2).

2. Use an EIA/TIA-232 DCE console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you establish normal router

operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. For

Note
