Appendix B Cable Pinouts

Custom Cable Pinouts for Attaching the CSS Console Port to a Communication Server

A DB-9 or DB-25 pin female DTE terminal adapter connector. For this connection, make a full cable that includes the rollover functionality directly in the cable (using the connector pinouts defined in Table B-8). In addition to the full cable, you will also need a RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 console cable to connect the communication server to the CSS (both cables are included in the CSS Console cable kit).
