PRP Auxiliary and Console Ports

The auxiliary and console ports on the PRP are EIA/TIA-232 (also known as

RS-232) asynchronous serial ports. These ports connect external devices to

monitor and manage the system.

• The auxiliary port—A (male) plug that provides a data terminal equipment

(DTE) interface. The auxiliary port supports flow control and is often used to

connect a modem, a channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment

for Telnet management.

• The console port—A (female) receptacle that provides a data

circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for connecting a console

terminal.
