2.11 Serial Cable Pinout
The BS supports a direct serial RS 232 port for connection to a PC, and for local
management configuration, and troubleshooting using a command line interface
(CLI). The port employs a DB-9 female connector and operates with the following
parameters: 38.4K baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
To access the CLI through the serial port:
1.
Ensure that your computer’s serial port is configured for 38.4K baud, 8 bits, 1
stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
2.
Using the serial cable included with the PM 5000 system (See
Figure 2-14
), con-
nect the cable to the DB9 serial port on your computer and to the RS 232 RJ11
Jack on the PM 5000 system.
Operation of the CLI, which can also be accessed from the Ethernet port using Telnet,
is discussed in Appendix C of this manual. Please refer to
PacketMax CLI Reference
Manual for further information on CLIs.
