3.2.1.2 ‘J3 | Control A’ Connector (Top) – Modem ‘A’ (DB-9F)
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.
