RS-232 connections
The RS-232 serial port is connected to the serial port of a computer using a straight-
through RS-232 cable terminated with DB-9 connectors. Do not use a null modem cable.
The serial port uses the transmit (TXD), receive (RXD), ready to send (RTS), clear to send
(CTS), and signal ground (GND) lines of the RS-232 standard. Figure 10-11 shows the
rear panel connector for the RS-232 interface and Table 10-4 shows the pinout for the
connector.
If your computer uses a DB-25 connector for the RS-232 interface, you will need a cable
or adapter with a DB-25 connector on one end and a DB-9 connector on the other, wired
straight through (not null modem).
