Using 8-Pin RJ-45 Connectors

Use this information to configure devices to use alternating wiring if you will be using 8-pin RJ-45 plugs with Digi's 10-pin RJ-45 jacks. 

Use the ditty parameter, altpin, to enable the use of 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. The command

ditty altpin /dev/ttyh2d

swaps the functions of the DCD and DSR inputs so that DCD becomes available on pin 1 of an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. The device /dev/ttyh2d is just an example. Specify your device instead.
