connection, which is recommended.
RS-232 serial port
cable, with a 9-pin DE
female connector
The RS-232 serial port cable (female to female, straight through cable) is a standard cable required to
connect the laptop’s serial port to the ipBTS C30’s serial port.
Ethernet Loopback
connector
Allows you to perform Loopback tests on the Ethernet port. The wiring assignments for an Ethernet
Loopback connector are shown below.
Note: The Ethernet Loopback connector is necessary only if you are testing the Ethernet port.
