2: Introduction

Serial Port Interfaces

All devices attached to the device ports and the console port must support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. RJ45 cabling, like Category 5 or 6 patch cabling, is used for the device port connections and for the console port. (For pinout information, see the Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 331.)

Device ports for the SLC 8000 advanced console manager are reversed by default so that straight- through RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g. Ethernet patch cables.

Note: RJ45 to DB9/DB25 adapters are available from Lantronix.

Device ports and the console port support the following baud-rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 and 230400 baud.
