38.2 Cable Pin Assignments
In a serial communications connection, generally a computer is DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) and a modem is DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). The Switch is DCE
when you connect a computer to the console port. The Switch is DTE when you connect a
modem to the dial backup port.

adaptor for the console cable with these pin
assignments on the male end.
