Serial Console Port
Table D-1 shows the pin assignments for the DB-9 serial console port, and Figure D-1 shows the pin
configuration. The console port is configured as an EIA/TIA-232 data terminal equipment (DTE) adapter.
If you are connecting a console device such as a laptop, you must use a serial crossover cable (null
modem cable).
