    Octal Cable connect to VPN Concentrator???

    Hi all,

    Looks like I cannot console in concentrator by using Octal Cable, I need to use straight through cable with DB9.

    It is so pain that I have to console to configure concentrator directly, instead of telnet into 2511 router.  Is there anyway to use Octal Cable or adaptor??


    Thanks

    Get an RJ45-RJ45 connector and stick another console/rollover cable on there.
     
    Rolling over the rollover cable will create a straight-thru cable.  ;)
     
    Works beautifully!

    Use straight through RJ45 patch cable between 2511 AUX port (line 17) and Concentrator.
