Console and Modem Ports
The Console port is an RJ-45 serial console port connector, for vt100 terminal emulator programs to perform local configuration and administration.
The Modem port is an RJ-45 serial console port connector, for establishing remote console sessions using dialup connections through a 9600 bps modem connected via an RS-232 cable. Dialing into the modem establishes the dialup console connection.
The table below lists the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter connection definitions. To employ a standard UART port, both the console and the modem ports use this configuration.
