Most PC serial ports also require a cable with a female DB-9 connector.
Terminal connections will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.
Serial cable options between a Brocade switch or router and a PC or terminal are shown in
Figure 34 .
NOTE
As indicated in Figure 33 and Figure 34 , some of the wires should not be connected. If you do
connect the wires that are labeled “Reserved”, you might get unexpected results with some
