Connecting Serial Devices
This section discusses connecting your serial devices to the DeviceMaster. It also provides you with
information to build serial or test cables and loopback connectors to test the serial ports.
• DB9 Connectors
• RJ45 Connectors on Page 91
• Four Screw Terminals (DM-2202) on Page 94
• Eight Screw Terminals (DM-2402) on Page 97

Make sure that you have configured the ports for the correct communications mode before
connecting any devices. The default mode is RS-232. There is a remote possibility that
connecting a serial device for the wrong mode could damage the serial device.
