3-14 Model D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder Installation and Operation Guide 4023074 Rev B
Connecting the RS-232 Data Interface
The RS-232 Data Interface
The DCE DB-9 female connector is intended for low-speed data: 7 bits, even parity,
1 stop bit, up to 38.4 kbps (default). These outputs are user-configurable via the
Setup Menu on the front panel.
The interconnect cable from the D9858 transcoder to a PC should be straight
through (i.e., no handshaking), shielded and equipped with a DB-9 male connector
at one end to mate with the rear panel RS-232 Data interface, and a female DB-9
connector to connect to the PC.
