We just purchased a couple Digi CM 48 devices and I was trying to figure out the pinouts for our Cisco and Foundry/Brocade devices. The console ports on our Cisco devices use RJ45 connections. Our Foundry/Brocade devices have DB9-male connections. We purchased Digi’s DB9-female adapters to use with our Foundry gear.
The Digi RJ45 side is using standard 568B wiring. The device side of the cable is as below. I just cut the wires on the pins with an ‘x’. I don’t know if cutting them is necessary. Since the Digi sends a signal on all the wires I thought it best to not transmit those signals at all.
This worked for me. Hopefully this helps others.
