Hello everyone,
I am trying to access a netra x1 via the lom serial
port (port A) or portB. i have a straight cat5 cable
attached to a RJ45 to DB9 convertor. The pin out is:
rj45 db9
----------------
1(blue) 8
2(orange) 6
3(black) 2
4(red) 5
5(green) 5
6(yellow) 3
7(brown) 4
8(white) 7
i'm using zterm on my mac. i am able to connect to my
sparcstation20 with the same cable, so i've weeded out
that the cable is faulty. I tried switching pins 2
and 3 but that didn't help. i tried it with and
without the ground, but no luck there either. i am
doing something fundamentally wrong. the only thing
that could be wrong is the pinout. can someone please
point me in the right direction. I tried the pinout
on this site but that didnt' work
