The Modem B Control connector is a 9-pin D female interface located on the
modem side of the L-Band Switch Module. Refer to Table 3 for pin assignments.
Pins 2, 3, and 4 carry signals looped through the switch module from Modem A to
Modem B, while pins 6, 7, and 8 loop the same signals from Modem B through to
Modem A. The 12VDC input, which is diode OR’ed with the corresponding
12VDC input from modem A, powers the switch module.
