Figure 3-3. Terminal Server to DTE Adaptor Wiring
Note In order to expand the functionality of the serial interface, the RJ-45 modular
cabling allows you to connect different signals to pin 7 of the server. (This pin is
an input to the terminal server serial port.) When a DCE device is connected to a
terminal server serial port, the device's DCD output is connected to pin 7. In this
case, the signal at pin 7 is referred to as DCD.
When a DTE device is connected to a terminal server serial port, the device's
DTR output is connected to pin 7 of the terminal server. In this case, the signal at
pin 7 is referred to as DSR. (This cabling scheme also provides DECconnect
compatibility, since DECconnect does not support the DCD signal.)
