Connecting the Console Port to a Computer Using the DB-9 Adapter
You can use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled Terminal)
to connect the console port to a computer running terminal emulation software. The following table lists
the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE
adapter:
