The new AN version (AN2?) has a different console port pinout - this is now
male connector on the box, and is compatible with the Synoptic 2700 series
Token Ring hubs (and possibly other units). Use a 9 pin to 9 pin straight
thru cable with a PC AT style serial port.

I dont have other pinout info.
