LTM Console access via Cat5E via Terminal Console

Hi,

 

I would like confirm that Derek's approach is working fine! I have tested now adapter from BlackBox FA4509F-BK (http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/DB9-Modular-Adapter-Kit-Unassembled-Female-to-RJ-45-8-Wire-Black/FA4509F%C4%82BK) cabled in same way as Derek did and it works. Just to clarify situation in case that wire cables are colored in different way see table below

 

DB9 adapter pinning of wires (first pin [blue cable] is on righ side of RJ45 if you look from direction of cisco console cable [wire] towards DB9 adapter with lock on the top (top view))

|_ ___| 1 wire (blue color in DB9 adapter)

 

 

1 - blue

 

2 - orange

 

3 - black

 

4 - red

 

5 - green

 

6 - yellow

 

7 - brown

 

8 - white

 

So basically blue wire (first on DB9 connector) should go to hole number 7, orange to the hole number 4 (numbering on holes is ok), black to hole number 3, red not connected, green to hole number 5, etc.
