Rollover Cable and Adapter Pinouts
This section describes how to identify a rollover cable (used to connect to the
console port) and also describes the adapter pinouts.
Identifying a Rollover Cable
To identify a rollover cable, compare 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-10.)
