If the pinouts for the serial management port do not correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you need to make a crossover cable that takes each pin on the server serial management port to the corresponding pin in the terminal server’s serial port.

TABLE 1-2shows the crossovers that the cable must perform.

2.Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type:

%telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number

For example, for a server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type:

%telnet 192.20.30.10 10000

Accessing the System Console Through a TIP Connection

Use this procedure to access the server system console by connecting the serial management port (SER MGT) to the serial port of another system (FIGURE 1-4).
