pinouts are mirror images of each other, since they plug into one another.

Port specifications

See "I/O port characteristics" on page 76 for the technical 
specifications of the I/O ports, including input voltages.

Digital input devices

Digital input devices are those that have only two states and 
send a signal to the MP modem in one of those states. An 
example of a digital input device might be a gun rack alarm 
that sends a signal to the MP modem any time the gun rack is 
open. Another example would be a panic button that sends a 
signal to the MP modem when it is pushed.
