D: Adapters and Pinouts
The serial device ports of the SLB branch office manager products m atch the RJ45
pinouts of the console ports of many popular devices found in a network environment.
The SLB device uses conventional straight-through Category 5 fully pinned net w ork
cables for all connections when used with Lantronix adapters. The cab les are available in
various lengths.
In most cases, you will need an adapter for your serial devices. Lantronix offers a variety
of RJ45-to-serial connector adapters for many devices. These adapters c onvert the RJ45
connection on the SLB branch office manager to a 9-pin or 25-pin s erial connector found
on other manufacturers' serial devices or re-route the serial signals for conn ections to
other devices that use RJ45 serial connectors.
Please check the cabling database on the Lantronix website at http:// www.lantronix.com
for suggested cables and adapters for commonly used serial devices.
The console port is wired the same way as the device ports and has the sam e signal
options.
Note: You can view or change the console port settings using the LCDs and
pushbuttons on the front panel, the Console Port web page, or the comma nd line
interface show console port and set consoleport commands.
