39.5 Console Port Pin Assignments

In a serial communications connection, generally a computer is DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and
a modem is DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). The MSC is DCE when you connect a
computer to the console port.
The following diagram and chart show the pin assignments of the console port of the MSC1000G,
MSC1024G, and MSC1224G.
