Anyway, the console port did not appear to be a standard pinout. I opened the RJ45 to DB9 connector they provided, and discovered it has this pinout:
Pin 1 | Pin 2 | Pin 3 | Pin 4 | Pin 5 | Pin 6 | Pin 7 | Pin 8 | Pin 9 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
x | black | yellow | brown | red (+green) | orange | white | blue | x |
This is the same as the pinout as I used for the type "A" RJ45-DB9 connector in this article: here.
From my testing, you simply need to make two of the type "A" adapters I mentioned in the linked post, attach a cat5 cable to both ends, and you should be able to connect to the serial port. The Linksys uses 38400 baud - unlike the usual 9600.
