Re: PowerBook G4 to Connect Ethernet to RS-232 Console

I'm pretty sure that kind of converter only works if the RJ45 is a serial jack, not an ethernet jack. It just allows more compact cabling, it doesn't have circuitry to provide a networked serial port (in other words, it's not a terminal server).

You will need to get a USB serial adapter if you want to use RS-232 communication from your PowerBook. KeySpan offers a wide variety with OS X support.

Hello All,

My Powerbook does not have serial port so I have connected RJ45 cable from
Ethernet port on my Powerbook and other end of Ethernet cable I have
attached a RJ45 to RS-232 connector.

I connect RS232 end to my Cisco router, but can not access the terminal
using this configuration similar to how I can in Windows with Hyperterminal.

Does anyone know how to do this with Mac OSX?

Thanks.

Jason
