Identifying a Rollover Cable
Pin 1
The RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (Cisco part number 29-0810-01) can be purchased from Cisco.
Because hardware flow control is not possible on the console port, Cisco does not recommend
that modems be connected to the console port. Modems should always be connected to the
auxiliary port.
