There are a few ways to connect to the craft port of the Netcrypt. The easiest way is to use a rollover cable (a flat RJ-45 terminated cable, pins reversed at each end) with a standard Sun chrome RJ-45 to DE-9 adapter. The baby blue Cisco DE-9 to RJ-45 cable will not work.
We've had problems connecting to Netcrypts in the field when using a Cisco terminal server, these were resolved by using the following pin out. You need to construct a custom RJ-45 to DE-9 adapter, and connect to it with a straight through (standard Ethernet) cable.
RJ45 (NC) | Serial (TSV) |
1 (OR/W) | 8 |
2 (OR) | 7 (short to 2) |
3 (GN/W) | 6 |
4 (BL) | 5 |
5 (BL/W) | 4 |
6 (GN) | 3 |
7 (BR/W) | 2 (short to 7) |
8 (BR) | 1 |
- You can use Hyper Term or Putty
-- Use COM 7 (Verify COM port in Windows Device Manager)
- Connected to Netcrypt:
-- We used a USB-to-serial adaptor:
-- a Female DB9 to Female RJ45, to the USB Adaptor
-- and connected to the "Host" port of the Netcrypt
Speed (baud): 9600
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
