Cable between R3620 with card NM-8A/S (DB60) and Console (RJ45)

saturnvas508 · ‎04-22-2009

Hi,

I have Cisco 3620 router with NM-8A/S card with eight DB60 male connectors. I want to do terminal server (router 3620) and connect it to other Cisco devices on console port (RJ45). Which kind, cable type can i use? Could You help me?

I think this:

R3620_NM8A/S(DB60female)>><<(DB60male)--cable--(DB25male)>> <<(DB25female)--cable--(DB9male)>><<(DB9female)--console_cable--(RJ45male)>>

<<(RJ45female)consoleportSwitch_Cisco

Is this correct?

Mateusz

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Thanks for solution but I have some troubles.

R3620_NM8A/S(DB60female)>><<(DB60male)--cable--(DB25male)>> <<(DB25female)--cable--(DB9male)>><<(DB9female)--console_cable--(RJ45male)>>

<<(RJ45female)consoleportSwitch_Cisco

Router(DB60) is DCE and console port Switch (RJ45) is always DTE.

Cable <<(DB60male)--cable--(DB25male)>> is Serial Cable CAB-232MT which is DTE cable.

I can use this cable??

Or I should use this:

<<(DB60male)--cable--(DB25female)>>

which is Serial Cable CAB-232FC DCE cable.

Could You help me?
