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).
Okidata printers may use SSD (pin 11) instead of DTR (pin 20) on DB25 side of above diagram. If
this is the case, the printer should be set to SSD+.
