Pacterm 2.0, the communication software shipped with the KAM’98, needs the 5
wire connections shown below. Some third-party software does not use hardware
flow contol and therefore does not need the RTS and CTS wires shown below.
For details on preparing your cable wiring, use the chart below that is appropriate
for your configuration. In each case, there is a listing of which KAM’98 (“Com
-
puter” port) pin needs to be connected to which pin on the computer’s
serial (COM) port. The wiring depends upon whether your computer has a 25 pin
connector or a 9 pin connector, and on how many wires are in the cable (you only
need 5 wires connected for KAM’98 operations, but you may connect more wires
to use the cable for other purposes). See page 326 for a diagram showing pin
numbers on a DB-25 connectors.
CASE 1-A: Wiring if computer has a 25 pin connector and the cable has 5 wires:
2 <——> 2 TXD
3 <——> 3 RXD
4 <——> 4 RTS
5 <——> 5 CTS
7<——>7SG
CASE 1-B: Wiring if computer has a 25 pin connector and the cable has 9 (or
more) wires. Same as in CASE 1-A, and also:
1 <——> 1 FG
6 <——> 6 DSR
8 <——> 8 DCD
20 <——> 20 DTR
CASE 2-A: Wiring if computer has a 9 pin connector and the cable has 5 wires:
