Did you set up the clock rate on the DCE side? I'm assuming you have HDLC encapsulation on both ends.
Here is a link that you can refer to on the command: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_comm and_reference_chapter09186a00800880c2.html#1019126 Watch the wrap. Good luck on your studies.

Anyway, I try to connect this cable to the serial interface of the 2 routers...and both the routers are showing serial is down and line protocol is down. I guess I have used the wrong cable...or maybe I have missed out something. Please comment..
