This appendix provides the following pinout information:


Console and Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts

The console port is configured as data communications equipment (DCE), and the auxiliary port is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE). The console and auxiliary ports both use RJ-45 connectors. RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapters are available for connection to modems and other external communications equipment. Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports.

Following are the pinouts for the console port (see Table C-1), the auxiliary port (see Table C-2), and the adapter (see Table C-16 and Table C-17).

Serial Cable Assemblies and Pinouts

The following illustrations and tables provide assembly drawings and pinouts for the EIA-530 DCE, and EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, and X.21 DTE and DCE cables.

RJ-45 Adapter Pinouts

Refer to Table C-16 for a list of the pins used on the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapters, used with an RJ-45 cable, to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 2500 series access server. The cable you use may be a roll-over cable or a straight cable.

A roll-over cable can be detected by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables in your hand, side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the pin on the outside of the right plug. If your cable was purchased from Cisco, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other (a roll-over cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5). (See Figure C-8.)

Figure C-8 Identifying a Roll-Over Cable

h3824.gif

The Cisco 2500 series access server ships with a rolled cable. Connection to a terminal or a modem will require an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, and possibly a DB-25-to-DB9 adapter. Refer to Table C-17 for the cable and adapter configurations that can be used to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 2500 series access server.

The asynchronous breakout cable (see TableC-14 and TableC-15) is functionally equivalent to a roll-over cable.
