3.4.4Connecting a Management Console Terminal to Multilink ML1200 (Serial-RJ-45 Console Port)

The serial console port on the Multilink ML1200 is different from other Multilink family switches. The Serial RJ-45 port, as shown in the picture, requires an 8-pin RJ-45 male connector to have the proper communication. (Note - the serial RJ-45 console port on the Multilink ML1200 is compatible with Cisco-type RJ-45 console port cables).

The Serial port pin-out for the RJ-45 console port used on Multilink ML1200 is shown below.

Table 3–1: Pinout information for above connector

Pin	Name	Description	Direction
1	RTX	Request to Send	OUT
3	TXD	Transceiver Data	OUT
4	GND	Ground
5	GND	Ground
6	RXD	Receive Data	IN
8	CTS	Clear to Send	IN

The console RJ-45-Serial cable may be ordered from the Factory, using the model number and description here:

CONSOLE-CBLQD-Console attachment cable serial null-modem cable with one side RJ-45 for the ML1200 and a male DB-9 Female connector on the other end.

CONSOLE-CBLQU-Console attachment cable serial null-modem cable Combo with one serial- RJ-45 for the ML1200 side and a USB cable connector option on the other end (e.g computer).

For Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GE Multilin advises that, for substation applications, the serial RJ-45console ports are intended for temporary connectivity to other equipment such as PCs. Since the console port connection is temporary, it is excluded from IEEE 1613 packet-loss testing per the 1613 standard- defined test procedure.
