The control terminal interface terminates in a V.24/RS-232 9-pin D-type female
connector that can be configured as DCE or DTE (see the Selecting the Control
Port Interface section in Chapter 4). Table A-4 lists the CONTROL connector pin
assignments. Table A-5 describes the control signal direction.

When connected and turned on, the terminal sets the DTR line ON (active) to gain
control over ASMi-52 and starts a configuration or monitoring session.
When connecting a dial-out modem to the CONTROL port for the alarm
reporting, a cross cable must be used. Table A-6 provides the pinout of a typical
cross cable with two male DB-9 connectors.
