NET232+CC Serial to Ethernet Adapter, Cisco® RJ45 Console Port

The NET232+CC is a fully featured serial to Ethernet device server, especially designed for use with equipment following the Cisco® RJ45 console port pinout. The NET232+CC provides remote access over Ethernet TCP/IP to routers, switches, servers, and other equipment that have a serial RJ45 console port or management port. Any Cisco equipment that uses the Cisco 72-3383-01 (DB-9 to RJ45) Console Cable can use the NET232+CC.

Examples of Cisco products that use this type of console port.

• Catalyst® 2350 Series switches
• Catalyst 6500 Series switche
• Cisco ASA 5500-X Series firewalls.

Example of other manufacturers using this same RJ45 pinout

• IBM® Power 710 server
• Power 730 server
• Power 8 Servers

At no additional charge, the NET232+CC supports

• multiple TCP connections (up to 4 TCP or a mixture of TCP and UDP)
• DNS
• email serial triggers
• mail authentication
• 256-bit AES encryption
• serial data rates up to 921K
• auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet

The NET232+CC  features an industrial grade temperature range, detailed LED status indicators, and a factory reset button (accessible through a pin-hole with a paperclip)

Configuration is simple using the provided installation software and web page. Just connect the adapter to an RS232 based RJ45 Serial port and to the local Ethernet network and then run the free software to find and set up the NET232+CC. Typical use is to connect the console/management/system port over the network to a TTY console terminal program such as Hyperterminal. “Virtual” COM ports can also be created on a PC using the included Comm Port Redirector software.

The NET232+CC can be powered from a nearby USB Port by using the optional “USB to Barrel Jack” cable. This cable simply takes the 5VDC power from the USB Port to power the NET232+CC. Power can also be optionally provided by a wall supply (US 110V or Euro 220V).
