Ok, I have been trying for a few days now to get my console cable to work.. I CAN NOT DO IT!!! I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to take an Ohm meter and test which pins on the DB9 are connected to which pins on the RJ45 connector.

Example... take the Female end of the DB9 connector and test each hole (pin) to each RJ45 pin (metal facing up left to right)


DB9 Example (female end that connects to the com port on the computer)

Im sure most of you dont need these diagrams, but just in case!.. It would help alot.. Thank you! :)
 
If you copy and paste that into another text box it looks correct.... The spaces did not stay the same for some reason... But you should be able to get the general idea...
