Connecting a Managed System with a 25-Pin DCE Serial Port

To make the connections for a managed system or other device with a DCE connection, perform the following steps:

  1. Plug a 25-pin modem adapter into the console or serial port of the managed system or to a modem or other DCE device.

  2. Connect the modem adapter to the serial port on your Operations Sentinel server with the appropriate straight-through cable.

Figure H-5 shows how to connect a managed system (with a DCE port) to an Operations Sentinel server serial port.

Figure H-6 shows how to connect a modem or other DCE device to an Operations Sentinel server serial port.

If the managed system or device has a 25-pin serial DTE port, use a terminal adapter instead of a modem adapter.
