Remote Port Connector
The remote port connector may be used to monitor server
management functions by connecting an external Hayes-
compatible Smart Modem to the PowerEdge 4100
system. The modem configuration should be set to
9600 baud, 8-bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control.
If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin
number and signal information for the remote port con-
nector. Figure B-7 illustrates the pin numbers for the
remote port connectors, and Table B-6 lists and defines
the pin assignments and interface signals for the remote
port connector.
