Default Connecting laptop to FCON?

Long story short I bought a fcon "dongle" and software off another forum member a couple of years ago. I had no immediate intents of using it and bought as a just In case item since it was such a rare find. I was digging through my garage this morning and came across it and can't remember if it came with a cable or if you can just purchase a standard cable to connect to the unit. I could figure it out by looking at the unit but am to lazy to get up under my dash and look. Do any of you guys know off hand which cable you need?

Its going to be a rs232 to rj12 connector. You can make you own you just need to wire it up properly. Just make sure you never try to connect through the black port.

Small chance that you will fry the unit.
