Netra T1 105 LOM Serial Cable
I have a Netra T1 105 which has two serial interfaces, A and B. The difference being that the serial A socket provides access to the Lights Out Management system and the console whilst B is just for console access.

These two serial interfaces present them selves as the above two RJ45 sockets. Apart from the lack of a DB9/RS232 socket on my comparitively modern desktop and having to borrow an old laptop from else where with such a port, I also had to make up an RJ45 to male DB9 cable. Sun Help provided me with the pin-outs which I interpreted as:
RJ45 DB9 TIA/EIA-568-B Colours 1 8 white-organe 2 6 orange 3 2 white-green 4 5 blue 5 5 white-blue 6 3 green 7 4 white-brown 8 7 brown
OR:
DB9 RJ45 TIA/EIA-568-B Colours 1 NONE 2 3 white-green 3 6 green 4 7 white-brown 5 4 and 5 blue, white-blue 6 2 orange 7 8 brown 8 1 white-organe 9 NONE
Which gave me:

Rate: 9600 baud Parity: No Stop bits: 1 Data bits: 8
