## Physical Connection
The connection on the back of the device is an RJ45. However, the device does not communicate through ethernet as this would imply but instead requires a serial adapter to convert it into a 9 pin D type connector that we can then plug the MOXA into. We can make our own adapter using the push-pin adapters (currently in the chalk pits) using the following configuration:

Note that there is a spare 25 way connector in the office (if you use it please replace it!). I couldn't get it working with a 9 way.
from TDK Manual (note: TDK manual pinout for the 8 pin connector side is reverse of RJ45, they are correct for RJ45 below where looking into the RJ45 socket with the connectors at the top pin 1 is on the left)

might be worth running prettier on this file (or any other formatting tool) as it makes tables nicer to read in markdown - just did this for #162

I'm not sure if there is a "Standard" mapping of RS232 connectors DCE/DTE to RJ45 connectors - i.e. did TDK use this. I've always treated the MOXA RJ45 cables as a useful local standard for us as they end up with the right DB9/DB25 connectors DCE/DTE one way or another! I would be curious to know if a 9-way worked with the 25-way left in place, but then adapted via a standard straight through 9-25 way adapter or similar gender changed 9-25way? This would probably point to a DCE/DTE difference in the RJ45 pins (for identical sockets!)

Wiring is Lambda -> Cat 5 -> adapter -> moxa cable -> Moxa
