The hardware guide for your filer (downloadable from NOW) defines the pins on
the console port, and the required terminal settings.
You need to set your emulator to 9600, 8 bits, no parity, XON/XOFF (or no flow
control).

You should use an null-modem kable or X-tp cable trough RJ45
make sure that you are using Software hand-shake, ie, xon-xoff.
I'm using this config and it works fine for me.

After almost two years without a toaster I've finally come out

used to be in the Good Ol' Days :(
I'm trying to connect this beastie to a console server.
Specifically
a Linux box with a Cyclades Ze multiport serial card. The Cyclades
presents its ports using an expansion box with RJ45 female ports.
I haven't been able to get this to talk to the toaster's
console port :(
I've tried various combinations of straight-through and null-modem
adaptors with standard ethernet and roll-over drop cables
with no joy.
Can anybody point me in the direction of the pinouts I need in a
RJ45 - DB-9 adaptor that will work with a roll-over drop cable?
For reference, I've got the Cyclades ports talking to cisco
kit (3600s)
using a roll-over cable. I've also got them talking to
Foundry switches
using the same roll-over cable with an adaptor using the
pinout below.
