| The terminal server ports are all RS232. We don't have the pinout
descriptions here, but the info should be readily available in lots of
places. You could even try the terminal server group/notes file.

I believe the customer needs the pin-outs to know what minimum signals
are needed for the Console Manager: data leads only, limited modem
control, full modem control, etc. If he needs all the pins okay but if
he just needs the data leads that is a difference of 4 pins versus 25;
significant in time, labor, and materials. Can you tell me the minimum
signals required?

| 214.3 | It's a h/w question | ZENDIA::DBIGELOW | Innovate, Integrate, Evaporate | Fri Mar 18 1994 21:00 | 13 |
| Bob,
This is more of a hardware question and should be asked in the
appropriate notes file. If your customer is going to hook up directly
to a cpu, then it depends upon which type of serial port he is trying
to connect to. THe same goes for a terminal server. Try asking the
question in the terminal server notes file. Console Manager software
doesn't get involved with the 'minimum signal requirements'.
Exactly what type of console are they trying to connect to? Is there
any reason why they can't use off the shelf cables?

| 214.4 | I found it (I think). | COPHUB::NEWVAX::BCASTRO | Robert M. Castro 339-5383 | Mon Mar 28 1994 20:35 | 17 |

I have not made an on-site visit yet but do not know of any reason that
the customer could not use vendor supplied cables. I believe the
customer feels that making up their own cables would be cheaper. He
also feels more comfortable adapting his cabling to his specific
requirements. It remains to be seen whether he will purchase or make
the cables.
I have found an excellent Digital document for deriving the pin-outs:
OPEN DECconnect Applications Guide; Fall, 1993; EC-G2570-42.
It is a hardware question but one I think should be addressed in the
requirements section of the installation quide or at least in an
appendix. At least to the extent of providing the used pins from the
monitored system to the console monitor.
Thanks for your assistance.
