Connecting the console cable
Follow these steps to connect the router to a console terminal:
Step1 Select a console terminal.
It can be a standard ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port, or more commonly, a PC.
Step2 Connect the console cable.
Power down the router and the console terminal, connect the RS232 serial port on the console terminal
to the console port on the router through the console cable.
