cisco 4000 lab environment

[strangepurple]

Hi guys first post here. I am recieving on the job training here in NJ, and one of my first tasks is to set up some routers in our lab environment. I am using 4 routers in total. 2 of these are vanguard, 2 are cisco 4000. I have the vanguard routers configured correctly and communicating with each other. However with the cisco, I am unable to configure the serial ports correctly, and as a result my serial is up, but line protocol down. I am just at a stand still here, and very confused as to the process of configuring my serial ports. If anyone could run through the steps it would be greatly appreciated. My method of connecting the 2 cisco routers is via a DCE and DTE crossover cable. I want to configure the serial port on each of my 2 cisco routers
