Modem Port
PT22s are equipped standard with a DB9-male RS-232C DTE Modem serial port. This connector is
typically used to connect to an external modem, but may also be used to connect to any RS-232C
device. A 9-pin female to 25-pin male cable is included for connecting the PT22s to an external
modem.
