In a serial communications connection, generally a computer is DTE (Data Terminal 
Equipment) and a modem is DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). The Prestige is DCE 
when you connect a computer to the console port. The Prestige is DTE when you connect a 
modem to the dial backup port.

adaptor for the console cable with these pin 

assignments on the male end.
