Serial Adapters
Depending on the type of device you use to connect to the server, you could need to
use either a DB-25 or DB-9 serial adapter.
TABLE 3-3 describes which type to use, and
the following sections describe the crossovers each adapter performs.
The Sun DB-25 Adapter
To connect to a Solaris tip session or to a VT100 terminal, you need to use either the
DB-25 (25-Pin DSUB Male to 8-POS RJ-45 Female) adapter that is supplied by Sun
(part no. 530-2889) with your system, or an alternative adapter that performs the
same pin crossovers. The Sun-supplied DB-25 adapter enables you to connect to any
Sun system. The crossovers it performs are listed in
TABLE 3-4 .
