Board UART Configuration
IXB2850 boards contain one RJ45 connector located on the front panel that is used for
a console connection. The baseboard and extension cards contain processors that
support one or more UART devices. These are:
The front panel RJ45 console connector can work in single or dual mode (requires a
special cable, IXB3GDEBUGCABLE, see
Specification” on page 165
Cisco* single UART with full modem signaling (RTS, CTS, DTR and CD). In dual mode,
there are two UARTs available on this connector, but the second line only supports RX
and TX.
The console port is preconfigured (no DIP switches) to access the NPU and BMC internal
UARTs only. See
UART Hardware Configuration
The front panel console connector is not hardware or software configurable, but is
preset to select the NPU and BMC internal UARTs.
CPLD Internal UART Cross-Connections
The CPLD also establishes internal cross-connection between following UARTs:
These cross-connections are established if none of the UARTs in a pair is connected to
the front panel console connector.
