IMPORTANT!! Serial monitor CAT5 cabling question

[NecessaryEvil]

Ok, I have an IBM RS6000 server that I can't get logged into.

I have the CRT monitor that was connected to it, but they connect through serial ports.

Actually, it's a Serial to RJ-45 connector (like is used for logging into routers through console).


I need to know how wire my CAT5 (assuming that's the kind of cable I use) between to the 2 systems.

Which do I need:
pass through cable A: (Wo, O, Wb, G, Wg, B, Wbr, Br) B: (Wo, O, Wb, G, Wg, B, Wbr, Br)
Crossover cable A: (Wo, O, Wb, G, Wg, B, Wbr, Br) B: (Wb, B, Wo , Wg, O, Wbr, Br)
Rollover cable: A: (Wo, O, Wb, G, Wg, B, Wbr, Br) B: (Br, Wbr, B, Wg, G, Wb, O, Wo)

or something else?


(and mods, please do not try to move this to networking, this is a display issue regardless of the use of CAT5)

bump!

surely someone's messed with old terminal systems.

This what you're looking for?

I'm assuming you can log into it while sitting in front of it - you just can't log in from somewhere else....?

that's my assumption.

the monitor that this server used had no inputs for a keyboard like the other dummy terminals....it used the PS2 keyboard and mouse from the server (or so I assume).

2 Serial ports (1 9 pin, 1 25 pin) & an AUX connector


I'll take a look; thanks for the link!
