Console and Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts

The EIA/TIA-232 console port is configured as DTE and uses an RJ-45 connector. A console cable kit is provided with your router to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port. The console cable kit contains an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 and RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapters (labeled Terminal).

lists the pinouts for the asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 and RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapters.

1 Pin 1 is connected internally to Pin 8.


Console and Auxiliary Cable and Adapter Pinouts

You can identify a roll-over cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables 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 .) If your cable was purchased from Cisco Systems, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other (a roll-over cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).

Serial Cable Assemblies and Pinouts

This section provides assembly drawings and pinouts for the EIA-530 DCE, and EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, and X.21 DTE and DCE cables.

EIA-530

Figure B-2 shows the EIA-530 serial cable assembly and Table B-2 lists the pinouts. Arrows indicate signal direction: —> indicates DTE to DCE, and <— indicates DCE to DTE.
