Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem
Connection Procedures and Precautions
Connect each WAN and LAN cable to the appropriate connector on the chassis or interface card.
•
Position the cables carefully, so that they do not put strain on the connectors.
•
Organize the cables in bundles so that cables do not intertwine.
•
Inspect the cables to make sure that the routing and bend radiuses are satisfactory. Reposition the
cables, if necessary.
•
Install cable ties in accordance with your site requirements.
For cable pinouts, refer to the online document
Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications

Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem
Your router has asynchronous serial, USB, console and auxiliary ports. These ports provide
administrative access to your router either locally (with a console terminal or PC) or remotely (with a
modem).
The following cables and adapters may be used for connecting your router to a console terminal, PC, or
modem:
•
USB Console cable—USB 5-pin mini Type-B to USB Type-A. See
“USB Serial Console” section
on page 3-2
for port details and
“Specifications” section on page 1-14
.
•
Console cable— EIA RJ-45 to DB-9
•
Modem adapter—DB-9 to DB-25
Note
The first time a Windows based PC is connected to the router, a USB device driver must be installed.
