Cables 1, 2, 3 & 4 9-way straight through (not null modem) RS-232 cable
Cable 5 9-way null modem RS-232 cable
Cable 6 APS power cable, either AC mains or –48VDC, depending on the model chosen
Cable 7 modem power cable, usually AC mains

Notes
■ The illustration above shows base stations with TaitNet RS-232 system interface
boards, but front or rear connection can be used.
■ If possible, the PC should be connected to a spare APS port so that normal dial-in
and dial-out is not disrupted. If there is no spare port available, any port can be
used, but some disruption may then possibly occur.
