Identifying a Rollover Cable

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables side by side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure C-1.) If your cable was purchased from Cisco Systems, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other connector (a rollover cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).

Figure C-2shows how to connect the console port to a PC.
