1. The female data terminal equipment (FDTE) adapter that is available from Cisco is labeled "Terminal".
2. The MMOD adapter that is available from Cisco is labeled "Modem".
Refer to
to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 7301 router. The cable you use may be a roll-over cable
or a straight cable.
A roll-over cable can be detected by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables
in your hand, side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the
left plug should be the same color as the pin on the outside of the right plug. If your cable was purchased
from Cisco, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other (a roll-over cable
reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5). (See

The Cisco 7301 router ships with a rolled cable. Connection to a terminal or a modem will require an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, and possibly a DB-25-to-DB9 adapter. Refer to
adapter configurations that can be used to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 7301 router.
