Console Port
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. You can connect a switch to a PC through the console
port and the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you
need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number
ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco. For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see
Table B-2
and
Table B-3
.
