Console Port Cables

5.3 Console Port Cables
Use the RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight cable and RJ-45 to DB-9(F) female DTE adapter to connect the
iCONNEX e800 Console Port to the PC DB-9(F) serial port running terminal emulation software.
You can distinguish a straight cable from a crossover cable by comparing the two modular
connector ends of the RJ-45 cable. Holding the RJ-45 cable connectors side by side with the
tab at the back, examine the sequence of the colored wires to determine the type of RJ-45
cable as shown in
• 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.
