7.1 T HE DB9 C ONSOLE A DAPTER
Some Personal Computers use a 9-pin DB9 interface for serial communications. The terminal
emulation programs may require certain lead status. Since console connections are generally
implemented as three wire interfaces (i.e. RxD, TxD, and SG); this may pose a problem for the
terminal emulation programs.
Below is depicted the wiring of a DB9 adapter which eliminates the problems associated with these
terminal emulation programs. It is used with a standard straight category 5 RJ45 cable.
