Make an Ethernet Connection
Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETH 0 port to an Ethernet hub or switch. You can either
connect the ETH 1 port to a second network or configure it for failover (also called Ethernet
bonding).
Connect Device Consoles or Modems to Serial Ports
Use CAT 5 or greater cables and DB-9 or DB-25 console adaptors as needed to connect target
device consoles or modems to the serial ports on the console server.
The ACS 6000 console server supports two different serial port pin-out configurations, Cyclades
and Cisco. The default is Cyclades. If a Cisco cable is connected to the port, the administrator must
reconfigure the pin-out for the port. The administrator selects Units - Appliance Settings - Ports -
Physical Ports and selects the Cisco option from the RJ-45 Pin-Out drop-down menu.
The following tables show serial port pin-out information, which you can use to create cables.
