Description

Connecting the Netra T1 Server to a Laptop

NOTE - Make sure you do not attempt to use the laptop's (25-pin) parallel port
instead of its serial port (the serial port is normally a male 9-pin D-type connector).                         

1. Connect the RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cable (supplied with the server) to the 
   Serial A/LOM port on the back panel of the Netra T1 server.

2. Connect the other end of the patch cable to the RJ45 connector on the 
   silver-colored DB25 (25-way DSUB male-to-female 8 POS RJ-45) adapter 
  (part number 530-2889-0x) supplied with the Netra T1 server.
