5.3.7 Channel Port-to-Console Adapter Cable
Any Nx8-DualMUX channel port, with a management terminal attached, may be used to
directly access the menu-driven user interface on a remote Nx8-DualMUX by cabling the
corresponding channel port on the remote system to the console port. Once the end-to-end
channel is configured properly, an operator at the local end of the link can perform menu
operations on the remote system.
An illustration of this configuration is shown in Figure 27
The following diagram illustrates an RS-232 Async null-modem cable suitable for a Port-to-
