	Serial Port

The WindConnect has an RS-232 serial port that can be used to connect a console terminal, a serial printer, or a wide variety of other RS-232-compatible devices. The connector is an RJ45 modular jack similar to the type used on Ethernet networks (but not electrically compatible). The pinouts of this connector are as follows:

RJ45			DTE	DCE
pin	Signal	Signal	pin	pin
1	RTS out	CTS in	5	4
2	DTR out	DSR in	6	20
3	Transmit Data	Receive Data	3	2
4	Transmit return	Signal Ground	7	7
5	Receive Return	Signal Ground	7	7
6	Receive Data	Transmit Data	2	3
7	DSR in	DTR out	20	6
8	CTS in	RTS out	4	5
