NOTES:
Altpin should be turned on when using this cable so that DTR will drive DCD (standard usage).
If altpin is turned off, the hardware signal on RJ45 pin 1 becomes DSR instead of DCD. This
alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead.
This cable utilizes the DTR signal of the terminal/printer for hardware flow control (RTS/CTS).
EIA-232 cables cannot exceed 2500pF.
