Making Your Own Cables
If you choose to make your own cable, see Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-6 illustrates how to make a DE-9S-to-DE-9P, DTE-to-DCE
interface cable that can replace the cable and adapter combination of
the HP 24542U cable or equivalent and the HP 5181-6639 adapter or
equivalent for use with PORT 2 of the 59551A.

Figure 2-7 illustrates how to make a DE-9S-to-DB-25P, DTE-to-DTE
interface cable that can replace the 25-pin male to 9-pin female
connectors for use with PORT 1.
