so far as I know, the connector is not "really" a db9. It is a token ring media filter
Reading the unit I use, on the "db9" side, TX is on wires 5 and 9, while RX is on wires 1 and 6. On the "rj45" side, TX is indicated as wires 3 and 6, while RX is using wires 4 and 5. What happens between the RJ side and the DB side, I do not know. -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey!
