Cisco ASR 1001 Router Overview and Installation
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 Console Port
The Cisco ASR 1001 embedded route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45
console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals
through use of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1001 Router. The console
cable kit contains:
•
•
•
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.
Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor must have a console port connection (typically to a
Note
terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.

To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing high-power lines with any interface cables.
Verify all cabling limitations (particularly distance) before powering on the system.
