Serial Connection
Note that many modern laptops do not come equipped with a DB-9 style serial port. If your computer only has a USB style serial port, you'll need
to obtain a USB to DB-9 Serial port adapter cable.
Plug one end of a RJ-45 terminated straight through CAT-5 cable into the serial communications port on the back of the computer using the serial
DB-9 to RJ-45 Adapter. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 terminated cable into the RS-232 I/O port on the CT Receiver. Once your COM settings are
determined, configure the B&K Suite and B&K Editors for simple and easy setup.
B& K offers a pre-made connector suitable for connecting a serial port to a standard network CAT-5 cable with RJ-45 connectors (p/n 13290).
However, if you wish to make your own, the pin configuration for a RJ-45 is:
