Cabling Specifications        1


This appendix provides pinouts for the IRX console cable, asynchronous serial cable, synchronous (RS-232 and V.35) serial cables, and the pin numbering sequence for RJ-45 10BaseT cables and Ethernet cabling specifications.

Asynchronous Serial Cable Pinouts

Port S0 is an asynchronous DTE port with a female RS-232 connector. To connect to a terminal or other DTE, use a null modem cable, typically male-to-female, as shown in Table B-1. To connect to a modem or other DCE, use a male-to-male straight-through cable, as shown in Table B-2. Directions (input/output) are with respect to the IRX.

Note ¯ A 6' male-to-male straight-through cable can be purchased from Lucent InterNetworking Systems, using product code MC-6.

Synchronous Serial with RS-232 Cable Pinouts

 Table B-3 provides the pinouts for the IRX DTE synchronous RS-232 serial port connection. The directions, input/output, are with respect to the IRX. Pins not listed have no connection. To connect to this port, you can use a straight-through 25-pin RS-232 cable.

Note ¯ RS-232 only supports signalling at speeds up to 56Kbps. If the device at the other end of the cable supports RS-423 signalling, speeds up to 128Kbps can be obtained.

Synchronous Serial with V.35 Cable Pinouts

 Table B-4 provides the pinouts for the IRX DTE synchronous V.35 serial port connection, capable of speeds up to T1/E1. The directions, input/output, are with respect to the IRX. Pins not listed have no connection.

Note ¯ To connect with this port, use the V.35 cable included with your IRX. To order additional cables from Lucent InterNetworking Systems, use product code DC-6.
