Adapting an NDS/6000 to an RCS/4000 Network
If you are using your NDS/6000 to replace a Systech RCS/4000 port server or including it in a network that already contains RCS/4000s, you may want to use an adapter on your NDS/6000 serial port that maps the NDS/6000 DB-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector emulating the RCS/4000 RJ-45 serial ports. The adapter would allow you to use your existing cables to connect to the NDS/6000. Information and a diagram for an NDS/6000 to RCS/4000 adapter are available in the on-line NDS/6000 Administrator's Guide in the section, "Adapting Your NDS/6000 to an RCS/4000 Network".
Newark Electronics (www.newark.com) can provide an adapter (DEM-45F Jack Adapter, Part Number 50F9356). The adapter is color coded as follows:

- Creates a pseudo-tty (pty) device on the host that is connected via TELNET or raw TCP to an RCS/4000 serial port.
Allows UNIX programs such as tip(1C) and uucp(1C) to access serial device attached to RCS/4000 ports.
