Configuration for the CPU Connectors
Two different interfaces are available for direct access to the CPU component.
You can use the console serial interface or the Ethernet interface to connect
to the terminal emulator for configuring and managing the AC 60 system.
Console Serial Interface
The serial port console interface of the AC 60 chassis faceplate accepts an
RJ-11 connector. The faceplate connector accommodates the standard RJ-11
interface; however, due to differences among manufacturers of connectors,
be sure to check your cable and connector to determine what type you have.
DB9 connectors are available with different wire-coloring schemes. If you
are using the serial port of a personal computer (PC) or workstation as the
console, use a standard DB9 female connector with an attached RJ-11
connector. Be sure to use the correct type of cable to ensure proper
operation. Table B-2 and Table B-3 describe the pin configuration for DB9
connectors with two different wire coloring schemes.
The SUN Microsystems workstation (as well as other types of workstations)
can also be used to connect to the console serial port. If you are using the
serial port of a SUN workstation as the console, use a DB25 male connector.
Table B-4 describes the pin configuration for the DB25 connector.
