Connecting a Comms module to a modem at a remote site
The modem is connected to the upstream (CONN2) RS232
connections of the Comms module. Note that there is also one
connection from the modem to the downstream (CONN3) DCD
connection on the Comms module (shown in bold below). The modem
has a 25-way D-type connector.
