Tagram,
From what you posted, the panel to device part is just canceling it self out. Try a normal straight thru patch cord there. Because the serial cable you have is already a roll over.

Just a quick update to this thread...
I messed around with several different pinout configurations for a couple days and finally found one that works.
From PC to wall: Cisco serial cable
From wall to panel: straight T568B wiring
From panel to device: Rollover/straight coupler/Rollover
The rollover cables are standard, according to cisco, 1-8 on one side, reversed to 8-1 on the other. So for this to work, I required two of them and a $2 CAT5 coupler.
The last bit of this is confusing, but it's the only way I was able to access any of my equipment in this manner.

So... you rolled it over THREE times? Wow... talk about unnecessary effort!
Yes, it sounds crazy. I did in fact use a straight cable with no luck. It wasn't until I introduced the coupler and additional rollover that it worked. I am sure there's something I may have done that's odd, but I decided not to look this gift horse in the mouth.
