RJ-45 8-pin to modem (ALTPIN option)
The following table shows how to build an 8-wire modem cable using an 8-
pin RJ-45 plug. This cable supports the Digi ALTPIN option when plugged
into a Digi RJ-45 serial port.
8-Wire modem cable supporting ALTPIN option
When ALTPIN is enabled, DCD becomes available on pin 1 of an 8-pin RJ-
45 connector (equivalent to pin 2 of a 10-pin connector).
ALTPIN is not supported for the PortServer product under Windows NT.
Use a full 10-wire modem cable in this case.
