This is on an RJ11-6 connector. We'll assume the conductors are numbers 1 to 6 left to right on the female jack on the back of the T300 controller board. (Cribbed from http://www.sunhelp.org/unix-serial-port-resources/serial-pinouts/#storedge.link)
IP address setup
The T300 can get its IP address using RARP. There is a small pull-out tag inside the T300 chassis with the unit's MAC address. This tag is located in the front (the side with the drives) on the inside left wall of the unit.
A RARP server is needed on the same Ethernet broadcast domain to send a reply to the T300 with its IP address. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=rarpd lists such a package.
