32It 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 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 InterfaceEthernet interfaceMSR 30 provide fixed Ethernet interfaces, the MSR 30-1X provide two fixed FE interfaces, the MSR 30-20provides two fixed GE interfaces and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides two fixed Combo interfaces. Inaddition, the MSR 30-20/30-40/30-60 provides SIC and DSIC slots. The MSR 30-11/30-16/30-20provides MIM slots and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides MIM slots and DMIM slots. The MSR30-10/30-11 provides one XMIM slot. These SIC and MIM slots can expand Ethernet interface card andinterface module. For the expansion rules, refer to MSR Series Routers Interface Module Manual. Thefollowing table describes Ethernet interface attributes.Table 24 Attributes of the Ethernet interfaceAttribute DescriptionConnector RJ-45Interface MDI/MDIX autosensingFrame format Ethernet_IIEthernet_SNAPOperating mode 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing (10/100 Mbps autosensing for FEs)Full duplex/half duplexNOTE:MDI (Media Dependent Interface) is a typical type of Ethernet interface provided by network adapters.MDIX is crossover media-dependent interface, which is commonly found on a Hub or LAN switch.Ethernet cable1. Electrical Ethernet interface cableEthernet interfaces usually use category 5 twisted pair cables, as shown in the following figure:Figure 31 Ethernet cableEthernet cables fit into the following two categories:
