Ethernet cable
If you are connecting to the modem via the Ethernet port, you will need a straight or crossover category 5 cable with
two 8-pin RJ45 connectors on each end.
To visually confirm that Ethernet cabling was done properly, check the LED indication on the Ethernet port located at the
rear panel of the modem. The Link LED should be on when the right cable is used.
11.5
USB cable
This is an Ethernet-over-USB connection which behaves like an Ethernet connection. It can only be connected to a PC
with Windows XP or Windows Vista installed. If you are connecting to the modem via the USB port, you will need a Type
A plug to Type B plug USB cable for the BT-5x00v2 series modems and a mini Type B plug to Type A plug for the BT-6000
series modems. In order for the USB connection to work, you need to install the BlueTree USB driver which is available
at www.redlion.net. The driver is automatically installed during BlueVue Device Manager setup.
11.6
Serial cable
The modem has all its serial port pins enabled. If all the pins are enabled on the attached serial device, it is important to
know whether the device is using DTE or DCE as a communication mode.
The modem is a DCE device, so use a straight-through serial cable between the modem and a DTE device such as a
terminal. Use a NULL modem cable adapter between the modem and a DCE device such as another modem.
If using custom wiring or if some pins are disabled, follow the guidelines below. The wiring will vary depending on
whether the attached serial device is a DTE or DCE.
