Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts
Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE adapter
(labeled "MODEM") to connect the auxiliary port to a modem. Figure C-4 shows how to
connect the auxiliary port to a modem. Table C-3 lists the pinouts for the asynchronous
serial auxiliary port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 male
DCE adapter (labeled "MODEM").
