NimbostratusHi Jan,
You don't specifically mention this in your original post, but my experience is that when connecting older F5 platforms with DB9 serial console ports to an Avocent console server, be sure that "use Cisco RJ45 pin outs" is disabled on the Avocent port configuration.
For newer F5 platforms with RJ45 serial console ports, be sure that "use Cisco RJ45 pin outs" is enabled.
