continuous ground shield.

3.2 Connector Description

3.2.1

Remote Connector and Pinouts (J6)

The remote connector is a 9-pin subminiature female D connector (J6) located on the rear
panel of the modem. Screw locks are provided for mechanical security of the mating
connector.

The remote connector interfaces the M&C functions to a remote location. The remote
location can be an M&C computer located away from the modem, but attached via cable to
the remote connector. This DCE interface is user selectable for either EIA-232 or EIA-484.

Refer to Table 3-2 for pinout information.
