Identifying a Rollover Cable

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable.

Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to

the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire

connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure B-6).

Connecting to a PC

Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE

adapter (both provided) to connect the console port to a PC running

terminal-emulation software. Figure B-7 shows how to connect the console port

to a PC. Table B-2 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45

rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter.
