Hi, One customer is going to connect some AXP directly on an FDDI ring in DAS mode. As he will purchase OBR at a third-party vendor (AMP, I guess), and states that OBR do runs with 4 or 5 different electrical standards (DB-9, RJ45,...) he asked me which type of electrical connector for OBR control we provide on the following adapters: DEFTA-DA DEFPA-DA He said it looks like RJ11 (6-pins) but we'd like that could be confirmed. Ideally we'd like to get the cabling drawing to verify the interoperability between our card and the OBR he will purchase.

| We use the 6 pin RJ-11 jack for our OBR interconnects. The pinout is as follows: Pin 1,2: Control voltage output Pin 3,4: Control voltage return Pin 5: OBR present signal Pin 6: Ground | |||||

    I won't swear in blood, but the answer is most likely yes.  Bill?

|     Yeah, it's the same. We haven't changed the OBR pinnout since day 1.
