Console Cable and Adapter
The EIA/TIA-232 console port on the IE2100 Series is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE) and
uses an RJ-45 connector. A console cable kit is provided with your IE2100 Series to connect an ASCII
terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port. The kit contains an RJ-45 to
RJ-45 rollover cable and one RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapters.
You can attach the two RJ-45 to DB-9 adapters to the RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover to create a DB-9 to DB-9
null-modem cable.
The communication parameters are based on 9600-N-8-1.
Table 2-3 on page 2-8 shows the pinouts for this configuration.
Rollover Cable
You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable (Figure 2-1 on
page 2-9). Holding the cables in your hand, side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to
the pin on the outside of the left connector (pin 1) should be the same color as the pin on the outside of
the right connector (pin 8).
