hi there



i have this problem (i think it works ) but i need a second opinion from the experts :)



I=B4m need to connect several consoles (switches/routers) for remote control. i have this router 4700M with 32 serial sync ports and this cable (Cisco 8 Lead Serial Octal Cable, CAB-OCT-232-FC - 72-1105-01), a friend told me to use this one cable and connect on the consoles using this another one(Cisco Modem/Console Cable 72-3663-01).



does it works? is it the same configuration from 2511?


regards from Brasil! Rodrigo

Looks like your 4700M only supports sync serial, not async (except on its one aux port.) As console ports are async, then you can't use the

4700M for this application.

If he is using CAB-OCT-232-FC then he might have a pair of NP-2T16S modules which do do async. Actually, was there any high-density sync-only serial module for the 4000 series?

i have 2 modules of 16 ports (2 x 8 EIA232 + 2 Mbps) - 36 serial ports to be more specific (32 low speed and 4 "high" speed). So i can not connect at console ports? but i can do this by aux port, it is DTE port too. am i right?

Yes, the 32 low speed ports can be used. The high speed ports are sync only.

Yes, or you can use a gender changer (or get the -MC version of the cable) and use the console port itself.
