CMN lines on MFIOP

["Henrik Krebs" <hkrebs@xxxxxxxxx>]

On my Eiger (Model 150 #0393) the MFIOP (6756-001) has two async
ports:
Location 1a (2721-001, Used for CA Console)
Location 1b (2721-001, Used for Operation Console)
Because of problems configuring the Operation Console I use the old CA
Console, and the 2'nd port is reporting 'Not detected'.

What is the difference between theese two ports, and what is the
wireing difference between the cables used for theese two
console-options? Can an ecs-modem be connected to either? I guess that
if I use the port and cable normally used for CA Console I must (apart
from connecting two female connectors) also swap(cross) the Snd and
the Rcv (As the console is a DTE and the modem is DCE).
