Cabling and adapters to communicate to service processor serial port from Windows PC with USB port.
Hello,
I have an unloaded T5140 machine and want to access the ILOM for the first time and subsequently the network port after that., and then load Solaris 10 the final January 2011 build.
The first part is what confuses me -the cabling.
I am coming from a Windows machine (w/appropriate terminal emulation) via a USB port. The machine came with no cables or adapters -I have located the right Sun DB9 to RJ45 crossover adapter which is usually shipped with the machine. I need to connect to that from the PC.
The USB to DB9 cables I am seeing for sale are USB to RS232 serial. I need some sort of DB9 receptacle to plug into the Sun crossover adapter the other side which connects to the serial management port on the T5140. I think I need USB straight "uncrossed over" wire to the Sun adapter somehow and am confused because these USB to RS 232 cables advertised are already "crossed over" which would result in inverting the signal twice. Sorry for my ignorance and confusion
, but I want to get this right.. Put simply-
What should I use to connect from my USB port to the Sun crossover adapter?
Thank you in advance.
