Hi,
I want to configure my SRW248G4 switch thru console port. Unfortunately in this switch there is no RJ45 console port input, I can only see cosole port that is look like RS232 input. I bought two standard cisco console cables that have one end with db9 and one with RJ45.
Now I have and idea to put one end of one cable (db9) to switch, and one end (db9) of second cable in my computer (COM input/output)
I need to connect two RJ45 together - this is not a problem, I know how to do this. Here is the question :
I know how pinout in my computer look like but i can't find pinout of console port in my SRW248G4. There is many pictures in Internet, for many Cisco devices but this isn't working. Maybe in LINKSYS pinout look different ? Does anyone has any experience with this topic and can help me ?

Thank you very much for your answer. If i understood everything correctly i just need to connect :
1 - Data Carrier Detect with -nothing (in RJ45 i have only 8 cables)
2 - Received Data with 3 - Transmitted Data
3 - Transmitted Data with 2 - Received Data
4 - Data Terminal Ready with 6 - Data Set Ready
5 - Signal Ground with 5 - Signal Ground
6- Data Set Ready with 4 - Data Terminal Ready
7 - Request to Send with 8 - Clear to Send
8 - Clear to Send with 7 - Request to Send
9 - Ring Indicator with -(nothing in RJ45 i have only 8 cables)
Setup my console conection with settings from user manual
Bits per second: 38,400
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
And this is all ? This should work without problems ?
Sorry to ask again in one topic but i just need to be sure.

Yes this should work just fine. What I do, I actually have the serial cable (female female) and I use an USB adapter, but it works all the same. If you can find any generic db9 female/female it will work just as well.
The USB to serial adapter I use is made by Prolific if that helps any.
