[asterisk-users] Cisco 7941G-GE with Asterisk and CTPSEP odyssee

[Glenn Cobb]

Here is the info on the Cisco console cable I use. There are a couple ways
to make the connection depending on what you have available. I used a piece
of 6 wire flat satin (like the 4 wire telephone station cord only with 6
wires) and put an RJ-12 on one end then put an RJ-24 on the other with the
cable aligned to fill the 6 middle connections. Make sure to put the same
side up on both ends (like a telephone wire) so that it is a straight
through cable. Then I used a Cisco RJ-24 to DB9 terminal adapter that comes
with a router or switch to connect to the PC. If you don't have that adapter
and need to crimp or solder your DB9 connector (blech...) the pinout is
below.

I don't remember the correct way the pins are labeled on the RJ connector so
you need to be looking at it with the clip away from you and the cable
opening on the left then start with the top pin as pin 1.

DB9     RJ12
1	NC
2	2
3	5
4	6
5	3&4
6	1
7	NC
8	NC
9	NC

Hope I was detailed enough....
