Remote Console to Catalyst Switches w/AS2509-RJ

I am currently working on finding a way to remotely access our Catalyst
3548XL switches via the console port. As I understand it, I can use the
Async ports on a AS2509-RJ to connect to the console port remotely. The
only problem is that I don't know how to do this. Can anyone offer some
configuration suggestions along with some pointers on the cabling?

Connection is done using the console roll-over cable

menu cserver title $If you have problems connecting to your device
clear the connection via cl+# (ie:cl1) and try again.

To exit back out to the menu press "CTRL+SHIFT+6"
then "X". You must then clear the connection and
begin a new console session to re-connect to
that device.
