  • Page 104 Terminal Server Connecting the Server to a Terminal Server The serial management port on the Netra 240 server is a data terminal equipment (DTE) port. The pinouts for the serial management port correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the serial interface breakout cable supplied by Cisco for use with the Cisco AS2511-RJ terminal server.
  • Page 105 If the pinouts for the serial management port do not correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you need to make a crossover cable that takes each pin on the Netra 240 server serial management port to the corresponding pin in the terminal server’s serial port.
  • Page 106 Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type: % telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number For example, for a Netra 240 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type: % telnet 192.20.30.10 10000 Note –...
