a.
The right hand column pin assignments are for the RJ-45 connector on the XP-2000. Thus, pin 1 (TXD or
"transmit data") must emerge on the management console's end of the connection as RXD ("receive data") and
so on.
2.
Make sure the TXD signals from the XP-2000 emerge as RXD signals on the management
console and the TXD signals from the management console emerge as RXD signals on the XP-
2000.
3.
After ensuring that the pin assignments on both ends of the connection are correct, plug the
appropriate end of the connection into the XP-2000's RJ-45 10/100Base-TX port.
4.
Plug the other end of the connection into the management console's port.
5.
When you are ready to begin configuring the XP-2000, use procedures in
Installation and
setup by entering CLI commands on the management console.
