Does anyone know the pin outs for a db9 to db9 console cable so that i can make one and get onto the router at least?

Thanks

Hi There

I use the two normal db9 connector same as cisco pin outs, and then i use normal straight through UTP and i am able to get console connection.

I kinda have a similar problem...
We have a micom 5kt pro plugged in a baystack AN router that was working a few years back. When we moved to another building we dismantled it and had it in a shelf for over a year. We want to use it now for a leased line connection to the internet and the isp guys said they don't know how to set it up. I tried Nortel's website and came up with nothing. I tried calling them up and said they stopped tech support on Baystack and Micom. Anybody out there who can help me start configuring these two? How do I start? What do I need?

BTW, I did a reset on the both Bay and Micom...what's the default IP address or default config if any...I tried downlaoding the user's guide from archive.org but I don't know what cable to connect it with my laptop...I tried hyper terminal and it wouldn't connect...help!
 
Hi, all

Console cable for BayNetworks/Nortel equipment is just straigh trough cable but it should be DB9M <-> DB9M on both ends. Other equipment often use DB9F <-> DB9M, you can use such cables with DB9 gender converter.
