Connecting via the serial port
To connect to the Cisco Expressway via the serial port:
1. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN 1 port on the rear of the unit to your network.
The LAN 1 port is the left-hand port of the dual port adapter on the rear panel of the unit (shown in
Figure 1:
Rear panel showing ports. [p.7]
).
2. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the rear of the unit to the serial port on a PC (see
Figure 1:
Rear panel showing ports. [p.7]
).
The serial cable used must be a cross-over cable. The pin assignment for the serial cable is:
Male RJ45 pin
