I. Introduction to AUX interface
AUX is an EIA/TIA-232-compliant asynchronous serial interface that can provide
backup for a WAN interface. Usually, it functions to provide dial connection. In case of
console failure, AUX can function as a console interface. For the AUX interface
attributes, refer to the section 1.4.
II. AUX cable
AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector
that can be plugged into the console port of the Eudemon200. At the other end are
DB-9 (male) connector and DB-25 (male) connector. You can plug either of them into
the serial port of Modem as needed. The following figure illustrates the AUX cable.

III. Connect the AUX cable
Follow these steps to connect the AUX cable.
Step 1: Insert the RJ-45 connector of the cable into the AUX port on the RPU.
Step 2: Insert the DB-25 or DB-9 connector into the serial port of the analog Modem.
AUX port is usually used for remote configuration through dial-up. Therefore, you need
to connect the local Modem to the remote Modem via PSTN and then to the remote
equipment. For the configuration procedure, refer to Operation Manual.
