Cisco ASR 9001 Hardware Installation Guide

To comply with the intra-building lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6,
you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the Ethernet ports. The shielded cable is terminated by
shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable shield material tied to both connectors.
Note
Connecting to the RP Console Port
The system console port on the RP is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the initial
configuration of the router. Depending on the cabling pinout on the terminal server end, the console port will
require either a crossover cable or a straight-through RJ-45 cable. See Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection
Guidelines, on page 23 for additional information about the console port.
See the previous and follow these steps to connect a data terminal to the RP console port:
Procedure
Step 1
Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200 8N1).
Step 2
Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Step 3
Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.
Step 4
Power on the data terminal.
Connecting to the RP Auxiliary Port
The auxiliary port on the RP is a RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other data communication
equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RP. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports hardware
flow control and modem control. See Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines, on page 23 for
additional information about the auxiliary port.
See the previous figure and follow these steps to connect an asynchronous serial device to the RP auxiliary
port:
Procedure
Step 1
Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Step 2
Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.
Step 3
Attach the other end of the cable to the RP auxiliary port.
Step 4
Power on the asynchronous serial device.
