Console Port (CONFIG)

The Console interface (CONFIG) on the front panel of 3101RC card is the main control interface of the Model 3101RC. The RJ45 connector pin assignment follows the EIA-561 signal type used in RS-232 inter- face, and the Model 3101 is a DCE Device. The following figure illustrated the DTE relative pin assignments in RJ45 connector:

1 2		3 4 5 6 7	8
1	2		8
				4	5	6	Other pins
				GND	TxD	RxD	Not used

Figure 7. Console Port RJ-45 pin assignment

To connect the host PC to the console port, a RJ45 (male) connector-to-RS232 DB9 (female) connector cable is required. The RJ45 connector of the cable is connected to the COM port of the DSLAM; the DB9 connec- tor of the cable is connected to the PC COM port. The DTE relative pin assignment of the console cable is shown below:
