Lantronix SCSxx05, User Manual

C-1
The serial device ports of the SCSxx05/SCSxx20 products match the RJ45
pinouts of the console ports of many popular devices found in a network
environment. The SCS uses conventional Category 5 fully pinned network cables
for all connections; the cables are available from Lantronix in various lengths.
In some cases you will need an adaptor for your serial devices. Lantronix offers a
variety of RJ45 to serial-connector adapters for many devices. These adapters
convert the RJ45 connection on the SCS to a 9-pin or 25-pin serial connector
found on some other manufacturer's serial devices.
You can configure the SCSxx05/SCSxx20 device ports as either DTE or DCE
ports, using a software command, thus reducing the issues in making custom-
pinned cables for different devices.
The serial terminal port is wired in the same manner as the device ports and has
the same signal options.
Note:
It is generally not necessary to change the configuration of the
terminal port, other than its data rate. Therefore, no options are available
on the setup menu or Web interface for changing its configuration. If you
need to make a change, use the
dtedce command to change DTE or
DCE setting, and use the buttons on the front panel to change the baud
rate (see
Method #1 – Using the Front Panel Display in the Quick Start
chapter).
