PIX 515 DB9 to RJ45

[Guest_imported]

Got a good deal on a couple of Cisco PIX 515 UR BUNs. Know nothing about them. They came with nothing but the units themselves. I need to find out info about them (RAM,Version,Flash Memory,etc.).

I bought two female DB9 to RJ45 connectors. (Since none came with them) These connectors need to have the wires matched to the pins.

1)Anyone know how to wire them properly?

2)What are the settings to use for hyperterminal (ie. 2400,8-n-1, Xoff/Xon). Thank you.

The DB9 has two rows of wires that need to be put in the pin holes 1-9 (8 wires)

Top (where tab would be inserted)
Blue, Black, Green, Brown

Bottom
Orange, Red, Yellow, White

(** represents the wires that attach to 9 pins)

Bl,Bk,G, Br
O, R, Y, W

I'm not sure if the blue is pin 1 or not - I can test to find out. So how do the pins connect up?

Facing Female DB9 Facing PIX Rear Console
5,4,3,2,1 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
9,8,7,6

Which pins go to which? Thank you again.

HI.

Before wiring your own connector, look for the same connector from another CISCO router or device. Most of them use the same cabling.
I think that you should also use the flat rollover cable from CISCO and not an ordinary ethernet cable.

NdMan,

The console serial cable must be a null modem cable. The pin outs are as follows:

J1 (DB-9) Pins
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Set your HyperTerminal settings to N81, no flow control, 9600 baud. Make sure that your version of HyperTerminal can transmit the break key sequence (NT4 HyperTerminal is / was broken).

Liberty for All,

Brian

NdMan,

Are these used Pix machines?
