Modem Cable

If you want to connect to the manager port using a

modem, you will need a cable as shown in the table

below. This connects the manager port’s 9 pin

D-type connector to a 25-pin serial port on a

modem.

LAN Port Connecting Cable - 10BaseT

The 10BaseT port terminates with an RJ45 connector

which can be connected to the 10BaseT port on

another device. The table below shows the pin-outs

for a straight through cable.
