22 Serial Console Ports
Section 3.4
Serial Console Ports
The serial console port on the CM provides access to the boot-time control and configuration menu interface.
Both the CM serial console port and the one on the front panel of the RX5000 chassis provide a console
interface to the ROX operating system.
The serial ports implement RS232 DCE on a female DB9 connector. Serial settings are: 57600 bps, 8 bits, No
parity, 1 stop bit. The pin assignment of both console ports is given in the Table 4, “Serial Console Pinout” table.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 can be ordered with up to 96 10/100Base-TX ports that allow connection to
standard CAT-5 UTP cable with RJ45 male connectors. All copper Ethernet ports feature auto-negotiation, auto-
polarity, and auto-crossover functions. The female RJ45 connector can accept and take advantage of screened
(commonly known as "shielded") cabling.
Section 3.5.1
RJ45 Twisted-Pair Copper Ports
Female RJ45 connectors are available on LMs that support 10/100Base-T and on LMs and SMs that support
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet. Their pin assignments are described below.
