Warning
The ports labeled “Ethernet,” “10BaseT,” “Token Ring,” “Console,” and “AUX” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like
telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Statement 22
Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections
Figure 9 Console and Auxiliary Port RJ-45 Connectors
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, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
The Cisco 7201 router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port.
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 Appendix A, “Specifications,” of the online Cisco 7201 Installation and
Configuration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7200/install_and_upgrade/7201_install_config/7201_icg.html.
