INT-232 – Serial Cable
What is it?
It is a lead to connect directly from the “External” port on the back of a unit to a 9-pin
(Serial) port on a PC or laptop.
What is included?
One 9-pin male to female serial lead, approximately 2 metres long.
When should I use this?
If your first unit is no more than 25 feet (approx 7.5m) from the computer, and you have a spare 9-pin COM port
available, this is the simplest and cheapest way to get connected.
What else should I know?
The maximum cable length we recommend for RS232 is 25 feet (7.5 metres) running at 38400 baud.
This cable MUST be a 1-1 serial connection – i.e. pin 1 to pin 1, 2 to 2 etc. A null modem cable will NOT work, as the
“transmit” and “receive” connections are swapped.
Units may be cascaded from this first one, using the RS485 ports on the rear of the unit and standard XLR mic leads.
Where do I get one?
This type of cable is generally available in most computer hardware stores, but do be sure to get a one to one cable as
explained above. Alternatively, it can be purchased from your local XTA supplier or directly from XTA by credit card. See
the end of this document for details.
