Appendix B Cable Pinouts
RJ-45 to RJ-45 CSS Cisco Console Adapter Cable
RJ-45 to RJ-45 CSS Cisco Console Adapter Cable
Table B-6lists the pinouts for the RJ-45 to RJ-45 Cisco console adapter cable that plugs into the CSS console and converts its pinouts to a standard Cisco console port. Once you plug the adapter cable into the CSS console port, you can connect a standard Cisco console cable to the adapter cable.
Note When you use the adapter cable to connect to a terminal server, you must plug the adapter RJ-45 male connector directly into the CSS console port. Then, connect the adapter RJ-45 female connector to the terminal server interface cable. Do not directly connect the adapter cable to the terminal server port.
