This connector is used for switch remote control of each SDM-2020 modulator or
demodulator. This remote communication is fixed at a rate 19200 Baud with 7-E-2
character format. Ensure that each mod/demod is set for EIA-485 4-wire communications
and the matching protocol and baud rate.

The pinout for EIA-485 communication at the switch is the same as the remote control on
the SDM-2020 modems. Table 2-5 provides the pinout information.
