2 . Introduction This publication describes the serial cables and snap adapters that are used to connect your RSM-R series or MPC series unit to the serial console port on various common devices. For more information on connecting devices, please refer to Section (Hardware Installation) in your User's Guide... Straight RJ- Cables and Rollover RJ- Cables All of the connection examples described in this document include the use either an RJ- Straight cable or an RJ- Rollover cable. The difference between the two types of cables is the way that the pins in the connectors at each end of the cable are linked to each other. In Straight Cables the pins on each connector are linked to the same pin number on the connector at the other end of the cable; for example, Pin on the right hand connector is linked to Pin on the left hand connector, as shown in Figure. below. For Rollover Cables, the order of the pins is reversed; Pin on the right hand connector would be linked to Pin on the left hand connector, as shown in Figure.. WTI RJ- Straight cables are available in three different models: RJX--: Feet Long RJX--: Feet Long RJX--0: 0 Feet Long WTI also offers an RJ- Rollover cable: RJ-ROLL Pin Pin Pin Pin Figure.: Straight Cables Pin Pin Pin Pin Figure.: Rollover Cables -

3 Introduction.. The RJ- Interface and hardware lines function as follows:. When connected: a) If either port is set for Modem Mode, the output at either port reflects the input at the other end. b) If neither port is set for Modem Mode, output is held high (active).. When not connected: a) If the port is set for Modem Mode, upon disconnect output is pulsed for 0. seconds and then held high. b) If the port is not set for Modem Mode, output is controlled by the Output option ( Parameters Menu, Option ). Upon disconnect, Option allows output to be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0. seconds and then held high.

4 . Connecting Devices to RJ- s This section describes the snap adapters and serial cables that are used to connect various devices to RJ- s on WTI products... Connecting DB-9M DTE Devices The DX9F-DTE-RJ can be used with a Straight RJ- cable to attach the following DB-9M DTE devices to RJ- s on WTI Products: PCs and Laptops Console Ports on WTI RSM-, RSM- and RSM- units Console Ports on WTI MPC Series Units Other Devices with a DB-9M DTE Console Port When connecting a DB-9M DTE device to an RJ- on a WTI Product, please refer to Figure. and Figure. below: RJ- Signal Pin X Pin Pin Figure.: DX9F-DTE-RJ Interface WTI Product RJ- DCE Straight RJ- Cable DB-9M DTE Console Port PC, Laptop or Other Device with DB-9M DTE Interface DX9F-DTE-RJ Figure.: Connecting DB-9M DTE Devices to RJ- s on WTI Products -

5 Connecting Devices to RJ- s.. Connecting DB-F DTE Devices The DXM-DTE-RJ can be used with a Straight RJ- cable to attach the most DB-F DTE devices to RJ- s on WTI products. When connecting a DB-F DTE device to an RJ- on a WTI Product, please refer to Figure. and Figure. below: RJ- DB-M Signal Pin X Pin Pin 0 Figure.: DXM-DTE-RJ Interface Male WTI Product RJ- DCE Straight RJ- Cable DB-F DTE Devices with DB-F DTE Interface DXM-DTE-RJ Figure.: Connecting DB-F DTE Devices to RJ- s on WTI Products -

6 Connecting Devices to RJ- s.. Connecting DB-F DCE Devices The DXM-DCE-RJ can be used with a Straight RJ- cable to attach the following DB-F DCE devices to RJ- serial ports on WTI products: External Modems with DB-F DCE Other Devices with a DB-F DCE Console Port When connecting a DB-F DCE device to an RJ- serial port, please refer to Figure. and Figure. below: RJ- DB-M Signal Pin 0 X Pin Pin Figure.: DXM-DCE-RJ Interface Male WTI Product RJ- DCE Straight RJ- Cable DB-F DCE External Modem or Other Device with DB-F DCE Interface DXM-DCE-RJ Figure.: Connecting DB-F DCE Devices to RJ- s on WTI Products -

Connecting RJ- DCE Devices An RJ-ROLL Rollover cable can be used to connect the following RJ- DCE devices to the RJ- serial ports on WTI Products: Cisco Routers with RJ- DCE Console Port Sun Routers with RJ- DCE Console Port Other Devices with RJ- DCE Console Port When connecting an RJ- DCE device to an RJ- serial port, please refer to Figure. below: WTI Product RJ- DCE Rollover RJ- Cable RJ- DCE Cisco Router, Sun Router or other Device with RJ- DCE Interface Figure.: Connecting RJ- DCE Devices to the RSM-R -

8 Connecting Devices to RJ- s.. Connecting an Auxilliary MPC Unit to the MPC AUX Port Use a DX9F-DTE-RJ and an RJ- Straight Cable to connect an optional Auxilliary MPC unit to the AUX Port on your MPC master unit as shown in Figure. and Figure.9 below: RJ- Signal Pin X Pin Pin Figure.: DX9F-DTE-RJ Interface MPC Series Master Unit RJ- DCE AUX Port Straight RJ- Cable DB-9M DTE Console Port Optional Auxilliary MPC Unit DX9F-DTE-RJ Figure.9: Connecting an Optional MPC Auxilliary unit to the MPC Master Unit -

9 Connecting Devices to RJ- s.. Connecting an MPC-DISPLAY Unit to an MPC Master Unit Use an RJ- Straight Cable to connect the optional MPC-DISPLAY unit to your MPC series master unit. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ- serial port on the back of the MPC-DISPLAY unit, and the other end of the cable to the "Remote" port on the face of the MPC series master unit. For a description of the operation procedure for the MPC-DISPLAY unit, please refer to the MPC User's Guide. When connecting an MPC-DISPLAY unit to your MPC master unit, please refer to Figure.0 below: MPC Series Master Unit RJ- Remote Port Straight RJ- Cable RJ- Optional MPC-DISPLAY Unit Figure.0: Connecting an Optional MPC-DISPLAY Unit to an MPC Series Master Unit -

10 . Making Extension Cables This section describes how WTI s and RJ- cables can be used to make Extension Cables for connecting to DB-9 ports and DB- Ports. This essentially allows you to use your existing Cat RJ- cable stock and connectors to make your own, economical alternatives to expensive pre-made cables... Null Modem Extension Cable (DTE to DTE) Use a DX9F-DTE-RJ, a DX9F-NULL-RJ and an RJ- Straight Cable to make a Null Modem Extension Cable (DTE to DTE) as shown in Figures.,. and. below: RJ- Signal Pin X Pin Pin Figure.: DX9F-DTE-RJ Interface RJ- Signal Pin X Pin Pin DSR Figure.: DX9F-NULL-RJ Interface RJ- Straight Cable DX9F-DTE-RJ DX9F-NULL-RJ Figure.: Making a Null Modem Extension Cable (DTE to DTE) -
