DB9-RJ45 Console Pin outs?

[zipler]

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)

OK, please search this forum for:

Scroll down to my lengthy answer, after reading some incorrect suggestions, I ran out to the truck and got a cisco console cable and adapter and did the ohmmeter thing and submitted all my results.

Good Luck! It is only my opinion, based on my experience and education...I am always willing to learn, educate me!
