Serial (Console) Port Connector
The SV Director Server has an RJ-45 serial port connector located on the rear
panel. This connector is shared with the RJ-45 serial port connector located on
the front panel.

When one RJ-45 serial port connector is in use, the other is disabled. For
example, if the rear-panel RJ-45 serial port connector is in use, the front-panel
RJ-45 serial port connector is disabled and vice versa.

and rear-panel ports, specifically in relation to Pin 6 and Pin 7.
On the front-panel serial (console) port, Pin 6 is used as a serial port selection
input. Grounding the signal on Pin 6 disables the rear-panel serial (console) port
so that the front-panel port is active. This feature allows you to plug into and use
the front-panel port without regard to whether anything is connected to the rear-
panel port.

On the rear-panel serial (console) port, Pin 7 can be configured with a jumper
located on the appliance motherboard. This jumper allows you to set Pin 7 to
either Data Set Ready (DSR) or Data Carrier Detect (DCD) as might be required
when using a serial port concentrator. The default jumper configuration selects
the DSR signal, which conforms to the Cisco serial port standard.
