DB-9 to RJ-45 Adapter
SPIOs are shipped with an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 serial cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter. The DB-9S conductor on the
adapter is female. If you use the cable and adaptor together, refer to the following figure and table.
Important:
If the console cable is to be used in a null-modem configuration, the workstation or terminal server
must provide a carrier-detect signal.
