ETHERNET CABLING

This diagram shows the pinout for standard unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) network cable. Both ends of the cable are wired identically.

RJ-45 pinout for a standard Ethernet patch cable (both ends indentical)

A crossover cable has the RX and TX wire pairs switched around at one end. There are only two likely situations that would require a crossover cable: to connect two RAVE devices directly, without a hub or other device in between; and to cascade hubs that don’t have uplink ports.

RJ-45 pinout for an Ethernet crossover cable

The wire in UTP cabling is twisted together in pairs. Rather than randomly choosing a wiring scheme for the networking cable, it is important to have the RX wires in one pair and the TX wires in another pair, especially in longer cable runs.

RS232 PORT INFORMATION

Pin assignments of 9-pid female D connector:

Pin 2: TX out

Pin 3: RX in

Pin 5: Ground

Pins 1 (DCD), 4 (DSR), and 6 (DTR) are tied together. Pins 7 (RTS) and 8 (CTS) are also tied together. DCE (receives on TD) operation; parity bit not checked.
