The key is to ensure that the colored wire inside the DB-9 adapter, which is
hard wired to Pin 3 on the RJ-45 side, is plugged into the #2 hole on the DB-
9 side, etc. SkyPilot has found that in general, the following colors in Table
2-7 can be used.
NOTE:You should verify that the wire color and connected RJ-45 pin are correct as
there is no official industry standard.
