This section describes how to connect console and AUX cables to the Switch
7700.
The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. One end of the cable has a crimped
RJ-45 connector, which is plugged into the console port of the switch. The other
end has both a DB-9-hole connector and a DB-25-hole connector for connection
to a 9-hole or 25-hole serial port at the configuration terminal.
See "Console Cable" on page 63 for cable illustration and pinout details.
To connect a terminal or PC to the Switch 7700 using the console cable:
1 Plug the DB-9 or DB-25 female plug of the console cable to the serial port of the
PC or the terminal where the switch is to be configured.
2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the
switch.
An AUX cable is used to connect the Switch 7700 to a modem in a remote dial-up
configuration.
The AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. One end of the cable is an RS-232
RJ-45 connector, which is used to plug into the switch at the console port. The
other end has both a DB-9-pin connector and a DB-25 pin for connection to a
9-hole or 25-hole serial port on the virtual modem.
See "AUX Cable" on page 63 for cable illustration and pinout details.
To connect the AUX cable:
1 Plug the RJ-45 end of the AUX cable into the switch console port.
2 Connect the DB-25 or DB-9 end of the AUX cable to the serial port of the virtual
modem.
