Restoring g250

[RedTech443]

I have recently purchased a used avaya g250 gateway. It is a bare bone system.

So far it turns on, and Lights blink.

I cant seem to find a console cable that works, I can receive data on a cisco cable but cannot send keystrokes back to the gateway. Has anyone successfully made a avaya console cable out of a cisco cable (light blue cable) or even a standard cat 5, 5e, or 6 roll over cable? I cannot find a definitive answer anywhere on the net.

Once I can type into the console then I think I should be ok to start configuring it, until then... It looks nice :/

In a pinch you can always cut a cisco console cable and connect brown to green
and green to brown. Its a hack but works.

I took a cisco cable and swapped the position of the green and brown. Then crimped it down with a rj45 connector, worked perfectly. I have got into the gateway.
