Failure to console to the MeetingPlace 3515 Media Server

[plafond12]

Hi All,

I have misplaced my Terminal Cable to console to the Meetingplace 3515 Media Server, mp-3515ms-av250.

I built one using the cable pinout provided by docwiki.cisco.com:

To Chassis (DB-9 Male)	Function	To PC Terminal (DB-9 Female)
2	TXD	3
3	RXD	2
5	GND	5

My cable is tested to be OK, however, i'm getting no response from the device.

Has anyone faced a similar problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Try with this:

Signal Name	Side 1	Side 2	Signal
TD (Transmit Data)	3	2	RD
RD (Receive Data)	2	3	TD
RTS (Request to Send)	7	8	CTS
CTS (Clear To Send)	8	7	RTS
SG (Signal Ground)	5	5	SG
DSR (Data Set Ready)	6	4	DTR
CD ( Carrier Detect)	1	4	DTR
DTR (Data Terminal Ready)	4	1	CD
DTR(Data Terminal Ready)	4	6	DSR

There are no more document, but if Cisco says that it's a null modem cable, then it's a "full" null modem cable.

Not the 235 pinout only.

Regards,

Antra
