3-9Connecting 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 InterfaceEthernet interfaceMSR 30 Series provide fixed Ethernet interfaces, the MSR 30-16 provide two fixed FE interfaces, theMSR 30-20 provides two fixed GE interfaces and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides two fixed Combointerface. In addition, MSR 30 Series Routers provide SIC and DSIC slots.. The MSR 30-16/30-20provides MIM slots and the MSR 30-40/30-60 provides MIM slots and DMIM slots. These SIC and MIMslots can expand Ethernet interface card and interface module. For the expansion rules, refer to MSRSeries Routers Interface Card and Interface Module Manual. The following table describes Ethernetinterface attributes.Table 3-5 Attributes of the Ethernet interfaceAttribute DescriptionConnector RJ-45Interface MDI/MDIX auto-sensingFrame format Ethernet_IIEthernet_SNAPOperating mode 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing (10/100 Mbps auto-sensing for FEs)Full duplex/half duplexMDI (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) Connecting electrical Ethernet interface cable.Ethernet interfaces usually use category 5 twisted pair cables, as shown in the following figure:
