There are two ways to make a cable so that you can use the ActiveHome interface with your
Macintosh. If you already have the cable that connects ActiveHome to a PC, you may wish to
use it. This will require building a DB9 to MiniDIN-8 cable (recommended). Your other
alternative is to build a cable that connects directly between the ActiveHome and your
Macintosh. This will require building a RJ11 to MiniDIN-8 cable. Diagrams for each
scenario are displayed below.
