I have recently needed a console cable for the DES-3010PA POE LAN switch. Since I did not have one on hand I decided to make one with some DB-9 to RJ-45 Adapters. Below is the pinout configuration I came up with.
Note: the PC DB-9 connection is and EIA 568 adapter color code layout. This color coding is the same as used in a Sun serial console adapter when looking at the PC side.
| PC DB-9 (DTE) Pin | Signal Name | Direction | Description | DB-9 Female Adapter Wire Color | DB-9 Male Adapter Wire Color | D-Link DES-3010PA DB-9 (DCE) Pin |
| 1 | CD | <-- | Carrier Detect | Blue | Blue | 1 |
| 2 | RXD | <-- | Receive Data | Orange | Orange | 2 |
| 3 | TXD | --> | Transmit Data | Black | Black | 3 |
| 4 | DTR | --> | Data Terminal Ready | Red | Red | 4 |
| 5 | GND | --- | Common Ground | Green | Green | 5 |
| 6 | DSR | <-- | Data Set Ready | Yellow | Yellow | 6 |
| 7 | RTS | --> | Request to Send | Brown | Brown | 7 |
| 8 | CTS | <-- | Clear to Send | White/Gray | White/Gray | 8 |
| 9 | RI | <-- | Ring Indicator | Unused | Unused | 9 |
Please note in the table above the only mandatory serial port connections are Receive (Pin 2), Transmit (Pin 3), and Ground (Pin 5). The others may be used but are not required for a simple connection to a PC serial port.
If extending the serial port using LAN cabling the assumed wiring scheme is 568B. So long as all pairs are use a consistent scheme at both ends the type of wiring scheme should not matter.
The default console serial port parameters are:
Speed: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits:1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None / Software
Note:
An management IP address MUST be configured by the admin in the DES-3010PA for remote management via LAN. since none is configured by default
