Sun Fire V1280

I didn't do any specific research on the v1280, but a typical "gotcha" when setting up the RJ-45 to DB25 or DB9 connectors is to connect send to send and receive to receive instead of connecting the sends to the receives. For instance,

The typical pinouts for the serial management port go like

Pin 1 RTS

Pin 2 DTR

Pin 3 TR

Pin 4 Ground

Pin 5 Ground

Pin 6 RD

Pin 7 DSR

Pin 8 CTS

So you should make your RJ45->DB25/9 adaptor like...

portcable

RTS -> CTS

CTS -> RTS

DTR -> DSR

DSR -> DTR

TD -> RD

RD -> TD

So when one end sends, the other receives.

Of course, you may already know this, and have made your adaptor correctly. In this case, no harm done. Best of luck! :)
