Establishing an RS232 Cable
Connection
The following steps describe the physical connection of the cable,
receiver, and computer. For a description of a software connection
with the receiver, see “PC-CDU Connection Parameters” on page 2-
22.
1. Using the RS232 cable, connect the serial port of your computer
(usually COM1) to the receiver’s serial port (either ODU or
DE-9). Use the serial port most convenient for you because both
are equal in functionality but simply require different cables.

2. Press the power buttons on the receiver and computer to turn
them on.
