Table A-2. DB9 Pin Assignments

A.3 10BASE-T PIN ASSIGNMENTS

An Ethernet twisted-pair link segment requires two pairs of wires.
Each wire pair is identified by solid and striped colored wires. For
example, one wire in the pair might be red and the other wire, red
with white stripes.

Connectors

Refer to the diagram below and note how the pins are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when
connecting the wires to the pins.
