Console Management Cables
The console cable, supplied with the IA 1100/1200, is a female to female DB-9 crossover
cable that has the following pin assignments:
Table 11. DB-9 Connector Pin Assignments
Signal (IA 1100/1200 port)
TXD (transmit data)
RXD (receive data)
DTR (data terminal ready)
CTS (clear to send)
RTS (request to send)
*
The left hand column pin assignments are for the male DB-9 connector on the IA 1100/1200. Thus, pin
2 (TXD or "transmit data") must emerge on the management console's end of the connection as RXD
("receive data") and so on.

Each port has two LEDs on its connector. The green LED on the left
side of the connector indicates the link status. When this LED is lit,
the port hardware is detecting that a cable is plugged into the port
and the port has established communication with the device at the
other end.
The amber LED on the right side of each port connector flashes each
time the port's transceiver sends or receives packets.
