Connecting the router to the network

Connecting the router to the network through an AUX cable

You need an AUX cable when configuring a router with the remote modem dial-up approach.
An AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector and at the other
end is a DB-9 (male) connector. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the AUX port of the router and the DB-9

(male) connector into the DB-9 (female) port of the modem. An AUX cable is the same as a console cable.

For more information, see

Figure 42

and

Table 15

.

To connect the AUX port:

1.

Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the router.

2.

Plug the DB-9 (male) connector at the other end into the serial port of the modem.

Connecting the router to the network through an Ethernet
twisted pair cable

The 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports of the router support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are

connected to the network through category-5 or above twisted pairs that are equipped with RJ-45

connectors.
No Ethernet twisted pair cables are shipped with the router. Prepare them yourself.
To connect a 10/100/1000BASE-T port:

1.

Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) to be
connected on the router.

2.

Plug the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port of the peer device.
