=== Wiring details ===

Thanks to Riseup for setting up our cables. Here are the details for creating an RJ45 to RJ45 cable that properly connects a Lantronix Serial Console server to the Baytech RPC-27 device.

=== Creating new users on odetta ===

Some notes from Riseup on creating new users:

 * The max password length appears to be 8 characters, doing a longer password results in an "Invalid password" error. 
 * To set a password what you have to do is to create the user as 'admin', then logout of the 'admin' account and then login to
the new user account (with no password), then run the 'password' command as that user. 
 * By default all new users have access to no recepticles.
