Access the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter

If the DTE has a DB-9 interface, you can connect to the console port using an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter

along with the RJ-45 rollover cable.

Table 6-1

lists the pin assignments.

Access the USB-B Console Port

The S60 system has two management ports available for system access: a console port and a Universal

Serial Bus (USB)-B port (

Figure 6-2

). The USB-B ports act exactly as the console port. The terminal

settings are the same. When the USB-B drive is connected, the S60 system sends all messages to it.

The USB-B connector port is labeled on the left of the management ports on the rear of the S60 system.

Figure 6-2. S60 USB-B Port Connector

When you connect both the console port and the USB-B port, the S60 system defaults to the USB-B port.

If the USB-B port is connected, the console connection is considered inactive.

NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure you have a terminal emulation program already installed on

your PC. You will also require the appropriate drivers for the USB device in use. For assistance, contact Dell

Networking Technical Support.
