3.4. Serial Console Ports

The serial console port on the CM provides access to the boot-time control and configuration menu interface. Both the CM serial console port and the one on the front panel of the RX5000 chassis provide a console interface to the ROX™ operating system.

The serial ports implement RS232 DCE on a female DB9 connector. Serial settings are: 57600 bps,

8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. The pin assignment of both console ports is given in the Table 3.3, “Serial Console Pinout” table.
