Appendix E Console Serial Cable Pinouts
Overview
Overview
The access point/bridge requires a special serial cable that connects the power injector’s console serial
port (RJ-45 connector) to your PC’s COM port (DB-9 connector). This cable can be purchased from
Cisco (part number AIR-CONCAB1200) or can be built using the pinouts in this appendix.
Signals and Pinouts
Use the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect the power injector’s console serial port to the COM port
of your PC running a terminal emulation program.
Note
Both the Ethernet and console serial ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently
connecting the serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.
Table E-1
lists the signals and pinouts for the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
