Connecting the Router to a PC
If you want to configure the router using Cisco IOS software, you must connect the console
port to a terminal or PC. The cable and adapters required for this connection are included
with the router.
Follow these steps, and refer to Figure 2-8 to connect the router to a terminal, terminal
server, or PC:
Step 1 Connect the blue console cable to the blue CONSOLE port on the router.
Step 2 Use the correct adapter to connect the other end of the cable to the terminal or
PC.
Note If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not fit one of the adapters included
with the router, you must provide the correct adapter for that port.
Note Figure 2-8 shows a Cisco 1401 router; however, this step is the same for all
Cisco 1400 series routers.
