Your router comes with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters you need to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or modem to your router. The console and auxiliary cable kit includes the following items:
For console connections, proceed to the "Console Port Signals and Pinouts" section; for modem connections, proceed to the "Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts" section.
Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled "TERMINAL") to connect the console port to a PC running terminal emulation software. Figure 1 shows how to connect the console port to a PC. Table 1 lists the pinouts for the asynchronous serial console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL).

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the modular plugs at the two ends of the cable. When you hold the plugs side by side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure 2.) If you purchased your cable from Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one connector, and pin 8 is white on the other (a rollover cable connects pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).

The 1E1R 2-slot module provides both UTP and STP Token Ring connections described in:
The IEEE has established Token Ring as standard IEEE 802.5. The distance limitations for the IEEE 802.5 specification indicate a maximum segment distance of 328 feet (100 meters) for UTP cabling. The distance limitation is 1,640 feet (500 meters) for STP cabling.
Token Ring can operate at two different ring speeds: 4 and 16 Mbps. All devices on the ring must use the same operating speed.
Only one Token Ring port can be used at a time. The module will automatically detect which port, STP or UTP, is in use. Use the provided Token Ring cable to connect the router to a switch.
Table 7 shows the Token Ring STP port pinouts used by the 1E1R 2-slot module.

Two standard T1 serial cables are available for the CT1/PRI module: null-modem and straight-through. A straight-through cable connects the router to an external CSU. Null-modem cables are used for back-to-back operation and testing.
The T1 interface cable has two 15-pin DB connectors at each end to connect the CT1/PRI with the external T1 CSU. Figure 6 shows the T1 interface cable, connectors, and pinouts. Table 12 lists the pinouts for the null-modem T1 cable and Table 13 lists the pinouts for the straight-through T1 cable.

This section provides information about the 1-port serial WAN interface card. With the appropriate serial transition cable, this card can provide an EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, DTE/DCE, EIA-530 DTE, or NRZ/NRZI serial interface.
Six types of serial cables (also called serial adapter cables or serial transition cables) are available from Cisco Systems:
All serial cables provide a universal plug at the interface card end. The network end of each cable provides the physical connectors most commonly used for the interface. For example, the network end of the EIA/TIA-232 serial cable is a DB-25 connector, the most widely used EIA/TIA-232 connector.
After you install the serial WAN interface card, use the appropriate serial cable to connect the interface card's DB-60 serial port to one of the following types of equipment:
This section contains the following topics:
EIA/TIA-232 supports unbalanced circuits at signal speeds up to 64 kbps. The network end of the adapter cable is a standard 25-pin D-shell connector known as a DB-25. (See Figure 12.) The router console and auxiliary ports also use EIA/TIA-232 connections; however, the serial module ports support synchronous connections, and the console and auxiliary ports support asynchronous connections.

Figure 13 shows the EIA/TIA-232 serial cable assembly. Table 18 lists the DTE pinout and Table 19 lists the DCE pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.

EIA/TIA-449, which supports balanced (EIA/TIA-422) and unbalanced (EIA/TIA-423) transmissions, is a faster (up to 2 Mbps) version of EIA/TIA-232 that provides more functions and supports transmissions over greater distances.
The EIA/TIA-449 standard was intended to replace the EIA/TIA-232 standard, but it was not widely adopted primarily because of the large installed base of DB-25 hardware and because of the larger size of the 37-pin EIA/TIA-449 connectors, which limited the number of connections possible (fewer than possible with the smaller, 25-pin EIA/TIA-232 connector).
The network end of the EIA/TIA-449 adapter cable provides a standard 37-pin D-shell connector. (See Figure 14.) EIA/TIA-449 cables are available as either DTE (DB-37 plug) or DCE (DB-37 receptacle).

Figure 15 shows the EIA/TIA-449 serial cable assembly. Table 20 lists the DTE pinout and Table 21 lists the DCE pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.

The V.35 interface is recommended for speeds up to 48 kbps, although in practice it is used successfully at 4 Mbps.
The network end of the V.35 adapter cable provides a standard 34-pin Winchester-type connector. (See Figure 16.) V.35 cables are available with a standard V.35 plug or receptacle in either DTE or DCE mode.

Figure 17 shows the V.35 serial cable assembly. Table 22 lists the DTE pinout and Table 23 lists the DCE pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.

The network end of the X.21 adapter cable is a standard DB-15 connector. (See Figure 18.) X.21 cables are available as either DTE (DB-15 plug) or DCE (DB-15 receptacle).

Figure 19 shows the X.21 serial cable assembly. Table 24 lists the DTE pinout and Table 25 lists the DCE pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.

This section contains the following topics:
The EIA-530 adapter cable is available in DTE mode only. The network end of the EIA-530 adapter cable is a standard DB-25 plug commonly used for EIA/TIA-232 connections. Figure 20 shows the DB-25 connector at the network end of the adapter cable.

Figure 21 shows the EIA-530 serial cable assembly, and Table 26 lists the pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.
The EIA-530 interface cannot be operated in DCE mode, and no DCE cable is available for it.

The Smart Serial cable interface supports two independent serial interface ports. Each port supports six types of serial interfaces: EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, X.21, V.35 in both DTE and DCE modes, and EIA530/EIA530A in DTE mode. The serial end of the Smart Serial cable is a 26-pin connector. These cables are used with the 2-port serial and 2-port asynchronous/synchronous WAN interface cards.
Figure 22 shows the serial transition cables you can connect to the DB-60 port on the asynchronous/synchronous serial modules and serial WAN interface card.

Table 27 lists the DCE pinout and Table 28 lists the DTE pinout for the EIA/TIA-232 Smart Serial cable. Arrows indicate signal direction: --> means DTE to DCE and <-- means DCE to DTE.
