Console Port

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table B-1 on page B-3and Table B-2 on page B-3. The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table B-1 on page B-3and Table B-2 on page B-3.

Identifying a Crossover Cable

To identify a rollover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure B-3.)

Figure B-3 Identifying a Crossover Cable

Pin 1 on one connector and pin 8 on the other connector should be the same color.
