Step 3
Connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the DB-9 end of the terminal.
Step 4 To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft Windows
HyperTerminal. This software should be configured with the following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop-bit
• no flow control
Connecting a Management Ethernet Cable
When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port
operates in the auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity
through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through
cable and adapts to it.
However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)
through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to the MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
• Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port
• Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port
