Table 10 lists the SPS (RJ-12) pin signals used on the connector.
RJ-12 modular jack to micro DB-9 cable
The cable connecting the SP to the SPS is a micro DB-9 (RS-232/EIA) plug to an RJ-12 
modular jack. It has a micro DB-9 connector (SP side) on one end and an RJ-12 connector 
(SPS side) on the other end. Figure 14 shows an example of an SP A (DB-9) to SPS A 
(RJ-12) cable.
