The TXD and RXD in the table are defined relative to the router, and should be connected to the RXD and TXD of the peer device (such as a computer) respectively.
The console configuration cable does not include RTS, CTS, DSR, and DTR signal lines, so it does not support hardware flow control.
Pins not described in the table are not connected.X1(RJ45)
