Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter

You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a

terminal server (for example, a PC).

The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows:

Accessing the USB-B Console Port

The terminal settings are the same for the USB-B port and the console port:

• 9600 baud rate

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control

When you connect the USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, when the system is connected, it sends all

messages to the USB-B drive.
