Port specifications

This section provides pin assignments for the following ports:

•Management module’s Console port (serial connector)

•Management module’s management port (RJ-45 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connector)

Console port pin assignments

The Console port is a standard male DB-9 connector, as shown in Figure50. For information about

how you can use this port, refer to “Console port” on page 8.

FIGURE 50 Console port pin and signalling details

Most PC serial ports require a cable with a female DB-9 connector. However, termina l conn ecti ons

will vary, requiring a cable with either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.

Serial cable options between the BigIron RX Series chassis and a PC or terminal are shown in

Figure 51.
