Modem cable for N4000

Tanja Ussat — Wed, 19 Jul 2000 13:44:42 GMT

I am having trouble getting information on the correct cable to use for connecting a modem to the mux on my N-Class server.
I have been told that I can use a standard straight through cable and I have also been told that I need to use a special cable.
Can somebody tell be what I really need?

I have always used an HP modem cable with no problems. Thet have a doc out there somewhere to detail this info but I'm sorry, I do not have the info with me right now.

I believe it's this :-

The lines marked with * are usually the ones
needed for modem use.

CPU Modem
( DB-9 F DTE ) (DB-25 M DCE)
-------------------------------------------
CD 1 <--------- 8 CD *
RD 2 <--------- 3 RD *
TD 3 ---------> 2 TD *
DTR 4 ---------> 20 DTR *
GND 5 <--------> 7 GND *
DSR 6 ---------- 6 DSR
RTS 7 ---------- 4 RTS
CTS 8 ---------- 5 CTS
RI 9 <--------- 22 RI

Tanja,
Do you need the cable for an additional PCI Mux card? Is it 25pin or the 10pin RJ45 (you are able to order both options)?
For the Sub-D 25pin connector is a straight through cable exactly the right one (13242N or 92218A)
For the RJ45 you need an adapter J2489A and cable 40233A.
