D: Adapters and Pinouts

The serial device ports of the SLB branch office manager products match 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 network cables for all connections when used with Lantronix adapters. The cables 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 convert the RJ45 connection on the SLB branch office manager to a 9-pin or 25-pin serial connector found on other manufacturers' serial devices or re-route the serial signals for connections 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 same 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 command line interface show console port and set consoleport commands.

The adapters illustrated below are compatible with the Lantronix SLB models.
