The NS-AL002 is connected directly to the serial port of the PT and power is supplied
from pin 6 of the port.
When there are multiple serial ports and Ethernet Units for a single host, each port can
be used to communicate with separate PTs. This type of communications method,
however, will reduce the communications performance at the host.
