Pin assignment on rj45 when using rs232

cablesdb9pinsrs232

I am having a problem creating a cable to connect with two devices. The first devisce is an Intellivue MP70 that I want to connect to the RS232 port using an RJ45 end. On the other side there should also be a RJ45 connection that should be connected to a Lantronix EDS-MD Server, and i can't figure out the pin assignment.

I got the following image:

And the following table:

However, as you can see this is a connection from RJ45 to DB9.
How do I translate this so i get RJ45 on both ends of the cable?

I can also mention that I have access to a RJ45 to Screw terminal adaptor on one side.

You can remap the DB9 to the RJ45 of your Lantronix EDS-MD. i have found a adapter 'pin out' in the user manual.
there are Adapters and Serial Port Pinouts listet - in the overview there is one cable described as

500-153- RJ45-to DB9F
Connects the RJ45 RS232 serial port s of EDS-MD to a DB9M DTE interface of a PC or serial device to check that serial ports in the EDS- MD are functioning properly.

but this one has no drawing.. so i looked at the rest and searched for the 'DB9M DTE'

200.2070A Adapter RJ45-to- DB9F
Allows a standard straight-pinned CA T5 cable to connect the EDS-MD to the DB9M DTE interface of a PC or serial device.

for this is a drawing on page 96: http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/EDS-MD_UG.pdf#page=96&zoom=auto,-169,21
the only problem is there is no direct naming of the signals. but i think you can use the DB9 Pinout to match your mentioned DB9.
So your table would be as following:

DB9 List from Wikipedia
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232#Verkabelung_und_Stecker)

DTE – data terminal equipment
DCE – data circuit-terminating equipment

Name is seen from DTE site.

DTE                     ---------------------->  DCE

      2                 -   6    DSR      -                  
      4&5               -   5    GND      -      4           
      2                 -   1    DCD      -                  
      7                 -   4    DTR      -                  
                        -   9    RI       -

pleas check again - eventually you have to exchange TxD & RxD on one site...
