WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender Console Port Adapter Pinouts
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. If you did not order a console cable, you need to provide
an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the console port to a PC console port. You can order an
adapter (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=).
Table B-8 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.
