11.4 Ethernet cable
If you are connecting to the modem via the Ethernet port, you will need a crossover category
5 cable with two 8-pin RJ45 connectors on each end.
To visually confirm that Ethernet cabling was done properly, check the LED indication on the
Ethernet port located at the rear panel of the modem. The Link LED should be on when the
right cable is used.
11.5 USB cable
This is an Ethernet-over-USB connection which behaves like an Ethernet connection. If you are
connecting to the modem via the USB port, you will need a TypeA/TypeB male USB cable. You
will also need to install the BlueTree USB driver which is available at

.
11.6 Serial cable
The modem has all its serial port pins enabled. If all the pins are enabled on the attached
serial device, it is important to know whether the device is using DTE or DCE as a
communication mode.
The modem is a DCE device, so use a straight-through serial cable between the modem and a
DTE device such as a terminal. Use a NULL modem cable adapter between the modem and a
DCE device such as another modem.
If using custom wiring or if some pins are disabled, follow the guidelines below. The wiring will
vary depending on whether the attached serial device is a DTE or DCE.
