Serial Ports
Two asynchronous serial ports on the RSP8, labeledConsole and Auxiliary, allow you to connect
external terminal devices to monitor and manage the system. The console port is an Electronics
Industries Association/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA)-232 receptacle (female)
that provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for connecting a console terminal.
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
The auxiliary port is an EIA/TIA-232 plug (male) that provides a data terminal equipment (DTE)
interface; the auxiliary port supports flow control and is often used to connect a modem, a channel
service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.
