Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
Connections
Overview
AT&T adapters are separately orderable for connecting the 10-pin IPC-1600 serial I/O ports to serial printers and I/O devices configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). AT&T adapters are also available for connecting equipment to the host system DB-9 integral port. Each of these adapters is described in this section.
AT&T Null MODEM Adapter
The AT&T Null MODEM Adapter (COMCODE 846362788) is an RJ-45
(10)to female DB-9 DTE connector. It provides for the connection of an IPC-1600 serial port with other equipment having a male DB-9 connector matching the interface shown in Figure B-5. Figure B-5shows the connection diagram of the AT&T Null MODEM Adapter.
AT&T Straight Thru Adapter
The AT&T Straight Thru Adapter (COMCODE 846373413) is an RJ-45
(10)to female DB-9 connector. It is used to connect an integral DB-9 serial port (COM1 or COM2) to an 8- or 10-conductor modular cable. A male DB-25, Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE), AT&T Remote Console Adapter or a male AT&T ACU/MODEM (DCE) Adapter can be used at the other end of the modular cable to connect the host DB-9 integral port to a MODEM. The AT&T Remote Console Adapter enables remote users or system administrators to remain connected to the host system during system resets and reboots. Figure B-6shows the connection diagram of the AT&T Straight Thru Adapter.
