proceed as follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the UTP straight‐through cable to the COM port of
the DFE‐Platinum module.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the UTP straight‐through cable into the RJ45‐to‐
DB25 modem adapter.
3. Connect the RJ45‐to‐DB25 adapter to the communications port on the modem.
