Connecting a Managed System with a 9-Pin Serial Port

Systems with 9-pin console ports are usually supplied with a 9- to 25-pin cable used to connect to the console. Unisys assumes that the console is usually a DTE device. For this reason, Unisys uses the existing cable to ensure the correct DCE/DTE pairing.

To make the connections, perform the following steps:

  1. Plug an RJ-45 to 25-pin modem adapter into the console cable of the managed system.

  2. Connect the modem adapter to the terminal/communications server with an RJ-45 cable.

Figure H-11 shows how to connect a managed system with a 9- to 25-pin cable to a network using a terminal/communications server.
