Sun Microsystems 2500 manual To Set Up the Terminal Emulation Program

To connect a terminal to the serial port of a controller:

1.Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN connector of the serial cable to the serial port connector (diagnostic port) on the controller (FIGURE 1-3on page 6).

2.Connect the RJ-45 connector of the serial cable to the serial port connector on the terminal. It may be necessary to use an RJ45-DB9 adapter between the serial cable RJ-45 connector and the serial port of the terminal.

3.For PC and laptop serial connections, you will also need to use a null modem. Connect the null modem between the serial cable or RJ45-DB9 adapter and the PC serial port.

Note – If your PC does not have a serial port, you can use a USB–Serial Port adapter (separately available from third-party vendors; not included with 2500 Series Array ship kits).
