Just an adapter cable (you will need to use a external Rollover Cable with
this setup - Ideal for connenction from Cisco Router as Comm Server from
Octopus cable handoff [rollover-DTE])
Cable from Rollover DTE side to Arrowpoint PINOUT.
***Warning Cable is NOT reversable each side MUST go to the Correct
equipment.
Just the Adapter
NOT REVERSIBLE!!!!

Q) When do I use which cable?
A) Various way to connect to the Arrowpoint Console port.
1) Use in this architecture from a comm server async port to Arrowpoint
console:
Comm Server Router
|
Octopus cable (which gives Rollover DTE hand off)
|
Female-Female RJ45 adapter
|
Arrowpoint Adapter cable (PINOUT above)
|
CSS-150 console port.
OR
2) Use in this architecture from a PC's DB-9 Pin Com port to Arrowpoint
console:
PC Com Port
|
Standard DB-9 Pin to RJ-45 adapter (Terminal adapter)
|
Cisco Console Cable (Rollover cable - usually Black or light Blue, and
flat)
|
Female-Female RJ45 adapter
|
Arrowpoint Adapter cable (PINOUT above)
|
CSS-150 console port.
OR
3) if connecting the OLDER Cisco router as a Comm Server:
Comm Server Router (RJ-45 Female port)
|
Full Cable (see above)
|
CSS-150 console port.
ALSO make sure to configure the routers Line interface for the appropriate
port
(9600/8/1/None/no flowcontrol):
router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router(config)#line 16
router(config-line)#stopbits 1
router(config-line)#flowcontrol none
OR
4) Use the cables that came with the Arrowpoint itself. (only for PC com
port to Arrowpoint console)
* Straight through cable * Custom DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter
