871 series terminal connection failed...

[sugar2ferret]

hi, im trying to configure my 871 router, in the online manual (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008045d249.html#wp1137813) it says: Router# show running-config but how can I connect to the terminal port in order to telnet the cisco?

I plugged a rj45 cable between the port and my nic's pc... and it has no connecivity... or must I use a dummie terminal or some like that in order to get connected to the shell terminal?

thanks in advance.

It should have came with console cable. You need to console into the device.

Hi,

If you need to make a console cable, follow the cabling pinout requirements in the following document:
