Here is the shell config that finally worked for me with a straight through cable:

RJ45 COLOR DB9 1 RTS----BLUE-------\ | 2 DTR----ORANGE--\ | | | 3 TXD----BLACK---|--|-----------2 RXD | | 4 GND----RED-----|--|----\ | | >-----5 GND 5 GND----GREEN---|--|----/ | | 6 RXD----YELLOW--|--|-----------3 TXD | | 7 DSR----BROWN---/ | | 8 CTS----WHITE------/

Thanks to all who offered their suggestions.

We are trying to attach our netapp db9 console ports to a cisco as2509-rj async rj45 lines, but are having no luck. The cisco h/w configuration documentation has a diagram for the db9 to rj45 pinout, but it does not work. Has anyone done this?

Thanks, Jim
