The console and auxiliary ports are both asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports
Note
must be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device;
for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
The console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle.
