8 Pin RJ 45 Plugs
The 8-pin RJ-45 plug supports all of the RS-232 signals except the modem control lines RI and
DCD. It is ideal for use with terminals and printers that require full hardware handshaking (as
when both DSR and CTS must be satisfied for data transmission to occur).
The PortServer software permits software rewiring the RJ-45 connectors so that
DCD is available in 8-pin configurations. See Modems on page 98.
