Locating the Serial Port
Communications ports, also called COM ports, are locations from which data can be
passed into and out of the terminal. You use serial communications through a COM port,
which means that data is transmitted over a single line from one device to another.
You can use the terminal’s COM port to communicate with other devices.

You can communicate with other RS-232 devices, such as modems, PCs, and printers,
through a COM port by:
• using a TRAKKER Antares TD2400 Communications Dock (COM1).
• using a TRAKKER Antares Optical Link Adapter (COM1).
• using a TRAKKER Antares 242X Serial Interface Module (COM4).
The T2420 also has a modem (COM3) as an option. You use an RJ11 cable to plug the
modem directly into a phone connection.
