Recommendations for Use
Polycom does not recommend using this straight-through serial cable for RS-232 communication from a computer,
Crestron system, or AMX device. Instead, for RS-232 communication, Polycom recommends using a cross-over cable
with pin 2 wired to pin 3, pin 3 wired to pin 2, and pin 5 wired to pin 5. The other pins are not used.
If you choose to use this straight-through serial cable for RS-232 communication from a computer or Crestron system,
the Null Modem Adapter is required. However, the null modem adapter does not work for RS-232 communication from
AMX devices and causes problems if you try to use it.
