Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem

Your router has asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports for system management. These ports
provide administrative access to your router either locally (with a console terminal or PC) or remotely

Cisco Systems provides the following cables for connecting your router to a console terminal, PC, or
modem:

Position the cables carefully, so that they do not put strain on the connectors.
Bundle the cables so that they do not intertwine.
Inspect the cables to make sure that the routing and bend radiuses are satisfactory. Reposition
cables, if necessary.
Install cable ties in accordance with site requirements.
