1. The local console must be attached to COM1 via a Null
Modem serial cable whose RIN (pin 9) and DTR (pin 4) lines are tied
together. To make your own console cable, please refer to the diagram below.
eXMP Console Cable Wiring Diagram
The short between these two pins indicates the presence of a valid
console device and is detected during system initialization by the
eXMP, thereby enabling the Console output to COM1. This can be done
with either an inline adapter or modifications to the Null Modem
cable itself.
One example of an inline adapter is the MEI C001-0034 (Cable,
Serial, eXMP, DE9).
Although MEI does not sell this adapter, MEI can provide the necessary
cable DWG to make your own adapter.
