Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP Console Port
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1
(at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a
crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand,
side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left
plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a route processor.
Note Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor must have a console port connection (typically to a
terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 cables to the serial RJ-45 port (CON) on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route
Processor 1 (see Figure 6-25).
