RPM Cables

Connecting the Console Port

The console port is an asynchronous serial port. If you connect a device to these ports, it must be capable
of asynchronous transmission. Your terminal or terminal emulation mode must be set to VT100 with the
following settings:
• 9600 baud rate (To avoid autobaud input, the default is set to a 9600 bps.)
• No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• Window Terminal Emulator option set to NO
• 24 lines X 80 characters
• No flow control

Cable and Adapter Pin Assignments

Use the C-Series System Console port on the RPM to connect to a terminal port, PC serial port, or a
terminal server to configure and monitor your system. An RJ-45 Ethernet cable is required to connect to
the Ethernet port.
The Console port is an RJ-45, the pinouts of which are shown in
