Connecting to COM Port for Local Management
With a UTP straight‐through cable and an RJ45‐to‐DB25 male adapter, you can connect products equipped with an RJ45 COM port to a Hayes compatible modem that supports 9600 baud.
Connecting to an IBM PC or Compatible Device
To connect an IBM PC or compatible device, running the VT terminal emulation, to an Enterasys Networks module COM port (Figure 3‐15), proceed as follows:
1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of a UTP straight‐through cable to the communications COM port on the Enterasys Networks module. (The COM port is also known as a Console port.)
2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the UTP straight‐through cable into an RJ45‐to‐DB9 adapter .
3.Connect the RJ45‐to‐DB9 adapter to the communications port on the IBM PC.
4.Turn on the PC and configure your VT emulation package with the following parameters:
