7970 AUX port pinout?

| Robert Kulagowski 2007-10-22, 7:12 pm |
| I'm trying to connect to the AUX port; I'm assuming that it's a standard
serial connection, but I can't find a pinout.

| Scott Voll 2007-10-23, 1:11 pm |
| WHY? What are you doing with the AUX port that you need pin out?

Because it's there? Because older versions of the admin guide for the
7970 tell you the pinout of the ethernet ports (gah!), but not the
serial port? Plain-old "Hrmm, what's that for?"?
See? Lots of reasons!

WOW I wish I was an admin somewhere that didn't have anything better to do
with my day than look up pinouts. What a life.

| Yes , it was there.
You can use it to telnet into the switch in the phone and do some fancy
stuff like advanced troubleshooting and even reset the phone to defaults, I
had done it to bring a dead 7970 alive.

| it's the same as the 7960 console port pinout. 7960 console cable will
work with it. that doc/pinout has been posted out here a few times. /wes

As an admin, I'm expected to find better, faster and cheaper ways to do
things and ignorance of the hardware at my fingertips does not further
that task.
Sadly, I do possess a lot of ignorance about the hardware at my
fingertips, but I do what I can...

| For instance - constructing a longer 7914 cable (whether supported ot
not) can provide some flexibility for users. When such cables aren't
straight-through, (which actually I think the 14 cable might be, just
can't recall from the last time we made one) knowledge of how the serial
ports are used *can* prove useful on at least sporadic occasion.
While random fiddling with things may seem like a waste, and sometimes
may be, that's up to the employer to decide. As has been noted, asking
questions about apparently unused or underusued features on equipment
can (though does not always) provide a ROI.

Because it's there.
And who knows --- you might even pull off something like this:

I must be using the wrong search terms over at gossamer-threads.com,
because "7960 console cable", "console cable", "7960 rs232" came up with
nada.
Any pointers / better search terms? Is the port 9600 n-8-1? Does this
work with SCCP?

| Noob,
If the best use of your time on this site is to berate someone's
questions, then I suggest you don't waste any more of your time here.
People are here to ask questions, whether earth shattering or inane. If you
don't have constructive input, then don't output.
