Signal Names

Signal names used for the RS-232C Interface are designed to match the pin order

used on most PC RS-232C interfaces, which allows a straight cable to be used to

connect the two.

Therefore, connect each pin's signal to the same signal name on

the PC side.

For example, the FP unit connector's pin #2 'RD' should be connected to the PC

connector's 'RD' terminal. For detailed signal direction information,
