Setting Up the Contivity 100 Unit
Appendix B
Adapter cable pinout diagrams
This appendix describes the pinout settings for the modem (DB-9 serial) and null
modem adapter cables.
Remote access adapter cables
If you want to connect a PC or dial-up modem directly to your Contivity 100 unit
to configure the unit using CLI commands (out-of-band management), you must
provide the connection cable. These are standard cables. You can have a cable
made according to the pinout diagrams in this appendix or you can purchase the
cable from a computer supply store.
For information on configuring your unit remotely, refer to Reference for the
Contivity Branch Access Command Line Interface Version 7.20.
Null modem adapter (PC-to-PC) cable
Figure 16 shows the pinout settings for a null modem adapter cable (also referred
to as a PC-to-PC file transfer cable). This serial cable must have two DB-9 female
connectors.
Use a null modem cable to connect a PC to the unit’s AUXport for out-of-band
management.
