Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter.

DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's RS232 serial port for use with the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable.

Terminal Emulation Program – Required for running the CLI over a direct connection. The program must emulate a VT100 terminal.

Telnet Client – Required for remote management with the CLI. Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (98, 2000, NT, and XP) include a Telnet client which is executed using the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). If you are using an operating system other than Windows, you may need to install a Telnet client.

Connecting a PC Directly

To connect a PC directly to the DSLAM to use the CLI:

1Plug a DB9 to RJ45 adapter into the RS232 serial port on your PC. See DB9 to RJ45 Adapter Pinouts in Appendix A, Connectors and

Pin Assignments.

2Connect one end of a straight-through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable into the adapter plugged into your PC, and the other end of the cable into the COM port on the face of the DSLAM.
