router lab question

[crystal91]

Hi,

I have two router and two serial cable

Cisco 2620 + Smart Serial cable V.35 DTE(male)

Cisco 2501 + DB60 Serial cable V.35 DTE(male)

I want to connect two router by serial cable

Cisco 2620<-->Smart Serial Cable V.35 Male<-->V.35 Female-to-Female V.35<-->DB60 Serial cable V.35 Male<-->Cisco 2501

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

is this possible ?

If possible, what about V.35 Female-to-Female pin-out ?

thanks

No, that is not possible. You must get a cable that is DCE female.

The reason being, the router side of the cable has certain pins shorted that will make the router understand it must become a DCE and provide clock.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!
