      Try this works for me
Computers and terminals are typically DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) devices.

Some DTE devices require the DSR (Data Set Ready) signal. This signal is usually provided by the DCE device. If you have a DTE device (such as a terminal) that requires the DSR signal, wire pins 20 and 6 (4 and 6 on a DB-9 connector) together. This way, the DTE device will receive the DSR signal from itself when it asserts the DTR signal.

That's strange.  I tried one of those and it didn't work.  It's a black
    rj45->db9 connector labeled TERMINAL and it's the one I was using to attach
    to the serial port of a laptop to console into the cisco.  I know the
    console port on the netapp works fine though because I can get into that
    with a serial cable and a laptop.

    They are pinned out the same as the adapters that came with the 2511
    (labeled Terminal, I think).  I have some at home, don't have one here,
    I can e-mail you later if you still didn't find it.

    I've decided to try and use the Cisco 2511-RJ that we currently have in
    place for our sun gear and connect the netapps to that for network
    console connections.  I picked up some rj45->db9 connectors that need to
    be pin'd out.  Does anyone know how these are pin'd out offhand?
    
    Thanks
