Hello,

I do not understand cable pin outs well, so please bear with me:)
I have several Ultras and Enterprise systems here using a RJ45 to DB9
connector to talk to my annex serial port server. Recently I
inherited two Sun Netra240's, but the console port is an RJ45
connector. My problem is that I now have to make an RJ45 to RJ45
connector so I can talk to the annex serial port server. I've seen
several diagrams out there, but my limited knowledge is causing me to
make lot of worthless cables. Does anyone know what the pinout
should be for a Sun Netra240 to an Annex? This is the old XYLogics
annex, later renamed RA2000. If you know the pinout could you post
it so I could understand (in my limited hardware abilities)....maybe
something like:
RJ45 - RJ45
1 - 3
2 - 4
etc....
All the DTR, CTS stuff just makes my head hurt....thanks:)

Tom,

Take a look at http://conserver.cybermirror.org/consoles/Annex/annexcons.html.

There is extensive info about all kinds of Annex serial connections.
