The Sun DB-9 Adapter
Some devices, such as a PC or handheld computer, require you to use either a male
or female DB-9 adapter. The Sun DB-9 adaptor (part number 530-3100-xx
) is a 9-Pin
DSUB female to 8-POS RJ-45 female adapter. To connect to any device that has a 9-
pin serial connector, use a DB-9 (9-pin) adapter that performs the pin crossovers
listed in
TABLE 3-5.
