Serial console cable Audiocodes Mediant 1000B PicoBlade to dual Dtype9

Serial console cable designed for Audiocodes Mediant 1000B systems, featuring a PicoBlade connector on one end and dual D-type 9-pin (D-Sub) connectors on the other. This cable provides a wired serial link for console access to compatible Audiocodes appliances, enabling configuration, monitoring and firmware maintenance via RS-232 interfaces. The compact PicoBlade plug is tailored to the device’s console port while the dual D-Sub connectors allow connection to different terminal setups or to equipment that separates transmit/receive lines.

Advantages

The cable delivers a stable, direct serial connection that avoids dependency on USB-to-serial adapters or network-based management for initial setup and recovery. Its purpose-built PicoBlade to dual D-Sub design ensures physical compatibility with Audiocodes Mediant 1000B console ports and common serial terminals. The use of standard D-type 9-pin connectors maintains compatibility with a wide range of terminal servers, serial adapters and legacy equipment. The wired connection reduces latency and improves reliability for low-level console tasks such as boot monitoring and firmware uploads.

Suitable for

• Console access and initial configuration of Audiocodes Mediant 1000B devices
• Firmware upgrade and recovery procedures requiring serial access
• Troubleshooting boot sequences and monitoring system logs via serial console
• Connecting Mediant 1000B to terminal servers or serial adapters with D-Sub9 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector A: PicoBlade connector compatible with the device console port
• Connector B: Dual D-Sub 9-pin (DE-9) male/female combination for terminal compatibility
• Signal standard: RS-232 serial signaling for console communication
• Cable type: Shielded multi-conductor serial cable to reduce interference
• Typical use: Direct wired console link for configuration and maintenance

How to use

Power off or place the Audiocodes unit in a state recommended by the vendor for console access if necessary. Insert the PicoBlade connector into the Mediant 1000B console port and connect the appropriate D-Sub 9-pin connector(s) to your terminal, serial adapter or terminal server. Configure terminal software on the host system (for example, 9600–115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit — refer to the device manual for exact settings). Power on the device and open the terminal session to observe boot messages or to enter configuration commands. For firmware transfers, follow the device-specific instructions using the serial console as required.

Usage recommendations

Verify connector orientation before insertion to avoid bent pins; use correct serial settings provided by Audiocodes documentation. For environments with electrical noise, ensure cable shielding is properly grounded and keep cable length within recommended limits to maintain signal integrity.
