Establishing a Connection Through a Terminal Server
A terminal server connection provides a way to access the Console port from a remote location. It is less
expensive to connect to the router through the Management Ethernet interface (because you do not have
the additional cost of a terminal server). However, if you need to perform tasks that require Console port
access from a remote location, a terminal server is the best method.
The procedure for connecting to the router through a terminal server is similar to the procedure for
directly connecting through the Console port. For both connection types, the physical connection takes
place through the Console port. The difference is that the terminal server connects directly to the Console
port, and you must use a Telnet session to establish communications through the terminal server to the
router.
To establish a connection through a terminal server, perform the following procedure.

This step is not required if you are connecting through a terminal.
Terminals send keystrokes to, and receive characters from, another
device. If you connect a computer to the Console port, you must use a
terminal emulation program to communicate with the router. For
instructions on using a terminal emulation program, see the hardware
documentation listed in the
If no text or router prompt appears when you connect to the Console
port, press Enter to initiate communications.
If no text appears when you press Enter and the router has been
started recently, give the router more time to complete the initial boot
