In addition to this, I just noticed, I am not getting CTS or DSR lights on the portserver, whereas I do on all the other succesful connections. Symon Hi All, I recently purchased a Digi portserver that I use for console access to the console ports on my lab routers/switch. I mainly did this in preparation to allow remote access to my lab. The digi portserver works really well, and I picked it up for only #100 on ebay (16 ports). Anyway, I have made up a bunch of RJ45-RJ45 console cables, and have all the routers working fine. I was using a modem cable to connect the female DB25 on my CAT5000 to the DB9 on my PC. I chopped the DB9 end off the cable, hooked up an RJ45 plug (to the best of my web searching pin out ability) and now I can watch the POST when I turn the switch on, but thats it, it just sits at the EARL test done line, and thats it. Digi International PortServer 16 ATE0 ATS0=1 Catalyst 5000 Power Up Diagnostics Init NVRAM Log LED Test ROM CHKSUM DUAL PORT RAM r/w RAM r/w RAM address test Byte/Word Enable test EARL test EARL test Done I can telnet in, the switch is fine, I just can't see anything via the console cable (that I performance enhanced :) ). Does anyone have the pinouts for this configuration? I used something that sort of looked right, but is obviously not.
