10 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
Connecting device consoles or modems to serial ports
Use CAT 5 or greater cables and DB-9 or DB-25 console adaptors as needed to connect target
device consoles or modems to the serial ports on the console server.
The ACS 6000 console server supports the Cisco
®
serial port pinout configuration, which is
disabled by default. If a Cisco cable is connected to a port, an administrator must enable the Cisco
pinout for the port. An administrator can select Expert - Ports - Serial Ports - (SetCAS or
SetPower) - Physical to open the Physical Settings screen, then check Enable Cisco RJ Pin-Out.
The following tables show serial port pinout information.
4 AUX/Modem port. If an optional internal modem is ordered, this port is defined as a V.92
modem at the factory; otherwise, the port is factory-defined as RS-232 with an RJ-45 ACS
console server pinout and can be used to connect either an external modem or a power
device.
5 ETH0 10/100M/1G Ethernet port for remote IP access.
6 Console port. Allows for local administration and access to connected devices through a
terminal or a computer with a terminal emulator.
