SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide

Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts
The serial device ports of the SLC products match the RJ45 pinouts of the console ports of many
popular devices found in a network environment. The SLC advanced console manager uses
conventional straight-through Category 5 fully pinned network cables for all connections when
used with Lantronix adapters. The cables are available in various lengths.
In most cases, you will need an adapter 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 SLC unit to a 9-pin or 25-pin serial connector found on other manufacturers' serial devices or
re-route the serial signals for connections to other devices that use RJ45 serial connectors.
Please check the cabling database on the Lantronix Web site at
www.lantronix.com
for suggested
cables and adapters for commonly used serial devices.
The console port is wired the same way as the device ports and has the same signal options.
Note:
You can view or change the console port settings using the LCDs and keypads on
the front panel, the
Devices > Console Port
page, or the command line interface
show
