OK here's the pinout of the DB9 to RJ45 Adapter and the wire colours on the adapter I used. Note that the wire colours inside the DB9 adapter you buy may not be the same. The adapters should be under $5.00 each
Once you have finished make sure you put a straight through lan cable and buzz out the cable, comparing with your existing one, to make 100% sure you have it correct.
Make 2 adapters in case you lose or break one.
DB9___Colour____ RJ45
1 ____Brown____ 7
2 ______________N/C
3 ______________N/C
4 ____RED_______4
5 ____Blue_______1
6 ____Yellow_____6
7 ______________N/C
8_____White_____8
9_____Green_____5
The RJ socket on the adapter when looking in with the tag at the bottom has pin 1 on the left.
