At one end of the cable is a crimped RJ-45 connector tothe console port on the router; at the other end of the cable is a DB-9 (female) connector to the serialport on the console terminal.The following figure illustrates the console cable.Figure 3-7 Console cableConnecting the console cableFollow these steps to connect the router to a console terminal:Step 1: Select a console terminal.It can be a standard ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port, or more commonly, a PC.Step 2: Connect the console cable.Power down the router and the console terminal, connect the RS232 serial port on the console terminalto the console port on the router through the console cable.Verify the connection and power up the devices. The console terminal shows the startup information ofthe router if the connection is correct.Fixed InterfacesEthernet Interface1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaceMSR 50 Series Routers are available with fixed 1000 Mbps Ethernet COMBO interface, and Ethernetmodules/cards for expansion.
