Accessing the Console Port
Connect the RJ-45/DB-9
adapter that is shipped with
the system to the RJ-45
cable.
Console port pinout:
Pin 1 = NC
Pin 2 = NC
Pin 3 = RXD
Pin 4 = GND

Console Port of S25V
Set your initial console terminal settings
to m
atch the default console settings on
the switch:
• 9600 baud rate
•No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control (console port
on
ly)
After establishing a connection, you can
modify the settings to match at each end
of the connection.
To access the console port, use the follow procedure:
Step Task
1 Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the system into the console port.
Caution:
You must install a straight-through RJ-45 copper cable (a standard Ethernet cable) into the
console port. This is different from many other implementations that require an Ethernet crossover
cable (or rollover cable). If connecting to a terminal server and using a crossover cable, daisychain
another crossover cable to effectively get a straight-through cable connection. Many console terminal
servers use octopus cables that are crossover cables. To accommodate the octopus cable, connect an
additional crossover cable, as above, to effectively install a straight-through cable.
2 If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the system to the end of the RJ-45 cable that
will connect to your terminal.
