<snip> Some of the closets in the design are uplinked into distribution layer closets over Cat5e cable. Nothing exceeds 300 ft, however, I am not sure how far I can stretch these Async lines to the console ports from the distribution to access layer switches. Does anyone know how far I can go with an RS-232 line over Cat5e? All I need is 9600 baud to talk to the console port at the other end.
</snip> You might be able to do it with hi-grade cable and if the Cisco ports are following the spec. Here's a pretty good tutorial. http://marcspages.co.uk/tech/long232.htm Regards, Mike _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
