If these have been in operation for 3 years, I would guess that they are the
"original" Catalyst 1900 switches. These switches used a different pinout
on the console port. I don't know the pinouts, but as I recall, they are
almost like a null modem cable. I think one wire connects differently than
a null modem cable.
The newer Catalyst 1900 switches (the "standard" and "enterprise" versions)
use the same cable as most of the other cisco equipment (a rollover cable
with a db-9 terminal adapter). The "original" model is not able to use
this.
