Pinout Information

Console Connector

The console connector on the P840 is a DCE interface on a RJ45 pinout. The supplied DB9 to RJ45 converter should be used to connect to the DB9 connector of a DTE terminal. This connection will then provide access to the built-in menu system.

If the console interface is to be connected to a modem or other DCE device, a standard RS-232 crossover converter should be used.

The following table illustrates the console pinouts.

RJ45 connector			DB9 connector		RS-232
on unit (DCE)		on converter (DCE)		signal name
2	6						CTS
3	4					DTR
4	5					GND
5	2						RxD
6	3						TxD
7	8						DSR
8	1						CD
