NETBuilder Bridge/Router Pinout and Cable Diagrams

Introduction

The following document contains pinout and cable diagrams for the NETBuilder Bridge/Router product line. These diagrams include the following:

NETBuilder II Bridge/Router Console Port Pinouts

The NETBuilder II Bridge/Router contains two serial ports on the Communications Engine Card (CEC). The diagnostic port is used by 3Com engineering when developing and working on the product. The other serial interface on the CEC is the console port, which allows user access to the NETBuilder II bridge/router user interface. The following table contains the pinouts for that port.
