Connecting to the Console Connector
The console connector on the P850 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.
