Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE
adapter (labeled “MODEM”) to connect the auxiliary port to a modem. Figure
A-2 shows how to connect the auxiliary port to a modem. Table A-3 lists the
pinouts for the asynchronous serial auxiliary port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 roll-over
