Figure 3.4 Serial port pin and signalling details
Most PC serial ports also require a cable with a female DB-9 connector.
Terminal connections will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.
Serial cable options between a Foundry switch or router and a PC or terminal are shown in Figure 3.5.
NOTE: As indicated in Figure 3.4 and Figure 3.5, some of the wires should not be connected. If you do connect
the wires that are labeled “Reserved”, you might get unexpected results with some terminals.
