hi all, I sort of quite confused when I tried to understand some of the explanations on wiring in the BCRAN course materials , I hope you guys and gals can help me : It goes this way RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter - Also straight-through or rolled -Male or female DTE adapter (MDTE or FDTE) - Straight -Male or female DCE adapter (MDCE or FDCE) - Rolled -MMOD adapter -Rolled. This adapter only supports modems(modified from MDCE connectors by wiring DB-25 pin 8 to DSR , instead of pin 6) Jason ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
