ConnectPort LTS 16 MEI; Cisco Serial

Question

ConnectPort LTS 16 MEI; Version 1.4.1 (82002228_J 10/21/2016)

Need to configure reverse SSH to the 16 devices.

I tried a straight through cable; no output
I tried a rolled cable; garbled output

Configured the ports as Console Management ports profile
Basic serial settings 9600/8/None/1/None

Tried the Enable DCD on 8-pin RJ45 connectors (Altpin)

Do I need a special pin out cable?

If so, is it something I can make myself or must I order from Digi?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yes there is a specific pin out for cisco, they have a document out there with a pin out. Its not color-coded its just pin 1 to pin bleh not very helpful. This is what i got after a back and forth with tech support.
