5.3.1 Console Port Cable Specifications and Pinout
Use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to
connect the Universal Line Card Console Port to the PC that is running terminal
emulation software. You can identify whether a cable is straight-through or cross-
over by comparing the two RJ-45 connectors at the ends of the Ethernet cable.
•
Straight through — The colored wires are in the same sequence at both ends of
the cable.
•
Crossover — The first (far left) colored wire at one end of the cable is the third
colored wire at the other end of the cable.
