Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 ISRs with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). You will only display settings and configure the clock in this lab. After you have established a console connection with the Cisco device, you can display or configure device settings. You will also learn how to configure the serial port settings for the Tera Term console connection. In this lab, you will learn how to access a Cisco device via a direct local connection to the console port, using the terminal emulation program called Tera Term. Some newer models, such as the 1941 Integrated Services Router (ISR) G2 used in this lab, also have a USB console port. Nearly all Cisco devices have a serial console port to which you can connect. These devices are managed using a local console connection or a remote connection. Various models of Cisco routers and switches are used in all types of networks. These console cables can be purchased from Cisco Systems, Inc. Instructor Note: Rollover and mini-USB console cables are no longer automatically shipped with the newer ISR G2 routers, such as Cisco 1941, Cisco 2901, or Cisco 2911. Note: Netlab users or other remote access equipment should complete only Part 2.
