I am a complete noob when it comes to reading proper console pin-outs. I have a Digi CM32 console server and a Baytech RPC PDU. I notice there is suppose to be some integration with these 2 devices though I am unable to get this to function. I have tried numerous cable combinations to get nowhere.

The documentation have the following picture:

I do not know how the output would look to connect those 2 devices. Could someone with this knowledge show me the proper pin outs based on this picture?

Thanks for you help and I hope this is the proper place to post :)
 
Assuming that it either uses no flow control, or XON/XOFF (software), all you need is:

BayTech pin 2 to Digi pin 4 (GND to GND)
BayTech pin 4 to Digi pin 3 (Baytech transmit to Digi receive)
BayTech pin 5 to Digi pin 6 (Baytech receive from Digi transmit)

I don't think the BayTech uses hardware flow control, since only one of the signals is present (RTS only, versus RTS and CTS). However, if you are still having issues, you might try:

BayTech pin 8 to Digi pin 5 (DCD, can detect the presence of the device)
BayTech pin 3 to Digi pin 8 (RTS - ready to send - hardware flow control)

Also, pin 2 is generally the signal ground, with 7 being an extra protective ground. You might try hooking BayTech pin 7 to digi pin 4 (in addition to 2, so 2 and 7 would be bridged together).
