Terayon BW3240

I have been working on configuring a Terayon BW3240 CMTS . Did not receive any documentation or console cable with the units. the major problem was accessing the console , the console port is RJ11 ,so I googled for R11 to RS232 pin out but could not find a standard pin definition . Finally I found some documents for TeryonBW3500 CMTS with RJ11 to RS232 connection diagram but the connector which was described in that was a RJ12 with 6 pins and the BW3240 only has RJ11 (4 pin) connector on it. Finally with some help , using a oscilloscope I managed to find which pin was Tx and which was Rx , the pin out is given below
