f5 Big-IP console connectivity to WTI Consol Server

Trying to connect several f5 Big-IP's console (db9) to a Wti TSM-40 (RJ45) Console Server. The UTP cable is Cat6 Straight thru cable.

 

 

I have tried just about every combination with no luck. Even those provided by Wti did not work.

 

 

My DB9 to RJ45 adapter is pinned as shown:

 

 

RJ-45 Color

 

1 Blue

 

2 Orange

 

3 Black

 

4 Red

 

5 Green

 

6 Yellow

 

7 Brown

 

8 White

 

 

I have tied the associated RTS-CTS, RXD-TXD and so on again with no success.

 

 

Has anyone connected F5 Big-IP's to a Wti Console Server?
