The Modem ‘A’ Control connector is a 9-pin Type ‘D’ female interface. Pins 2, 3,

and 4 carry signals looped through the switch module from Modem ‘B’ to

Modem ‘A’, while pins 6, 7, and 8 loop the same signals from Modem ‘A’

through to Modem ‘B’. The 12VDC input, which is diode OR’ed with the

corresponding 12VDC input from Modem ‘B’, powers the switch module.
