Console Connector and Cable Pin-Outs
The HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB has a console port that automatically detects whether a terminal
or a modem is connected. No switch setting is required. Because of this function, a standard
"straight-through" cable can not be used when connecting a terminal directly.
For a terminal connection, you use a "crossover" cable (essentially a cable for connecting a
printer to a serial port), or a modem cable with a null modem adapter attached (which provides
the crossover function). For a modem connection, you can use a standard modem cable.
This section provides pin assignment information for the cables you can use to connect a
terminal to the bridge.
