Cable Pin Assignments
In a serial communications connection, generally a computer is DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) and a modem is DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). The NXC-8160 is
DCE when you connect a computer to the console port.
The pin layout for the DB-9 connector end of the cables is as follows.

Configuration Backup &
Restoration
Make a copy of the NXC-8160’s configuration. You can put it back on the
NXC-8160 later if you decide to revert back to an earlier configuration.
IP Multicast IP multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The
NXC-8160 supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).
Time and Date Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on
your NXC-8160. You can also set the time manually. These dates and
times are then used in logs.
Logging and Tracing Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from
the NXC-8160 to an external syslog server.
