Serial (Console) port pinouts

The Console port is a standard male DB-9 connector.

FIGURE 52 Serial port pinouts

Most PC serial ports require a cable with a female DB-9 connector. However, terminal connections will
vary, requiring a cable with either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.

NOTE
Some of the wires should not be connected. If you do connect the wires that are labeled "Reserved",
you may get unexpected results with some terminals.
