Setting RJ-45 Console Access
The RJ-45 console port is an asynchronous serial port. If you connect a console to this port, it must
support asynchronous transmission.
NOTE: Before connecting a console, be sure that a terminal emulation program is already installed
on your PC console.
1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. To connect the C9010 console port to a
terminal server, use the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial console cable shipped with the C9010.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3. Set your terminal or terminal emulation mode to VT100 with the following settings:
9600 baud rate
No parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
Window Terminal Emulator option set to NO
24 lines x 80 characters
No flow control
RJ-45 Cable and Adapter Pin Assignments
To configure and monitor your system, you can connect to a terminal port, PC serial port, or a terminal
server by using the RJ-45 console port on the RPM. An RJ-45 Ethernet cable is required to connect to
the console port.
The following table describes the pinouts for the RJ-45 console port.
