Which serial port should I use?
Fix
Steps to Follow
On a Sun Fire[TM] V210/v240 the SERIAL MGT port accepts an RJ-45 connector.
This port is designed for Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) and system console use only.
Note: Do not attach any general purpose serial devices such as serial printer, UPS, modem to this
port.
The port labeled 10101 accepts a DB-9connector, this is the port to be used for general purpose serial data transfer.
The default serial connection settings are listed as shown:
| Parameter |
Setting |
| Connector |
SERIAL MGT or 10101 |
| Rate |
9600 baud |
| Parity |
None |
| Stop bits |
1 |
| Data bits |
8 |
If you need to connect to the SERIAL MGT port using either a DB-9 or a DB-25 connector, use an adapter to perform the crossovers given as shown:
