▼To Access The System Console Through a Terminal Server

1.Complete the physical connection from the serial port to your terminal server.

The serial port on the server is a data terminal equipment (DTE) port. The pinouts for the serial port correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the serial interface breakout cable supplied by Cisco for use with the Cisco AS2511-RJ terminal server. If you use a terminal server made by another manufacturer, check that the serial port pinouts of the server match those of the terminal server you plan to use.

■If the pinouts for the server serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you have two connection options:

■Connect a serial interface breakout cable to the dongle cable. See “Accessing the System Controller” on page 3.

■Connect a serial interface breakout cable to a patch panel and use a straight- through patch cable to connect the patch panel to the server.

■If the pinouts for the serial port do not correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you must make a crossover cable that takes each pin on the serial port to the corresponding pin in the terminal server’s serial port.

TABLE 1-1shows the crossovers that the cable must perform.

Dongle Serial Port (RJ-45 Connector) Pin		Terminal Server Serial Port Pin

Pin 1 (RTS)		Pin 1 (CTS)
Pin 2 (DTR)		Pin 2 (DSR)
Pin 3 (TXD)		Pin 3 (RXD)
Pin 4 (Signal Ground)		Pin 4 (Signal Ground)
Pin 5	(Signal Ground)	Pin 5	(Signal Ground)
Pin 6	(RXD)	Pin 6	(TXD)
Pin 7	(DSR /DCD)	Pin 7	(DTR)
Pin 8	(CTS)	Pin 8	(RTS)

2.Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type:
