Connect the Router to the Network

Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

I/O Controller and NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 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.

Step 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).

Step 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.

Note

You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting.
For console and auxiliary port pinouts, see the online

Chapter 3, “Console Port Signals and Auxiliary Port Signals.”

Note

When connecting to an auxiliary port on a Cisco 7200 VXR router, the port will not function at baud rates
higher than 19.2kb. If the baud rate on the connecting device is set higher than 19.2kb, garbled text or nothing
will be displayed on the screen.
