605 to RJ-11 adapter

The 605 to RJ-11 adaptor is provided to comply with the older 610 Telstra wall socket. The 605 to RJ-11 adapter may be used to convert the supplied RJ-11 cable, if the older connection is required.

USB cable

A typical USB cord has an "A" connection (“upstream” to plug into the computer) and a “B” connection (“downstream” to plug into the device).

“B” Connection

“A” Connection

By using different connectors on the upstream and downstream ends, cable connection is simplified. The “B” connection will fit a into the “B” socket of any USB device. Similarly, any "A" connector can be plugged into any "A" socket, such as on a computer.

If it is a new device, the operating system auto-detects it and asks for the driver disk. If the device has already been installed, the computer activates it and starts talking to it. USB devices can be connected and disconnected at any time.

9 Pin (RS-232 ) Serial Cable

A 9 Pin (RS-232) Serial Cable may be used to connect to a serial console terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program, such as Hyper Terminal.
